Abstract

A discussion of the best and latest evidence on the scope and implications of discrimination based on sexual orientation. Although public opinion on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been evolving rapidly, workplace discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender workers remains persistent and pervasive.
