Tech Leaders Call for Anti-Discrimination Laws to Protect Gays in all 50 States; New York Times, 4/1/15

Nick Wingfield, New York Times; Tech Leaders Call for Anti-Discrimination Laws to Protect Gays in all 50 States:

"Technology leaders are looking beyond an Indiana battle over gay rights that united them in the past week, and are calling on all states to enact anti-discrimination protections for lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

More than three dozen chief executives and other senior Silicon Valley leaders issued a joint statement on Wednesday, asking state legislatures to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes to their civil rights laws...

“Religious freedom, inclusion and diversity can coexist and everyone, including L.G.B.T. people and people of faith, should be protected under their states’ civil rights laws,” their statement reads. “No person should have to fear losing their job, or be denied service or housing because of who they are or whom they love.”"
