LGBT discrimination laws still in effect in Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 6/17/14

Kate Giammarise, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; LGBT discrimination laws still in effect in Pennsylvania:
"According to the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, 17 states include legal protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity in their non-discrimination laws, and four additional states include protections based on sexual orientation. In Pennsylvania, 34 municipalities have similar ordinances, according to the ACLU.
Advocates for the legislation say the concept of barring discrimination has broad popular support and is long overdue.
“The people outside of this building are way ahead of the people inside of this building,” said Ted Martin, executive director of Equality PA."
