Steny Hoyer Pushes Colleagues To Protect LGBT Staffers From Workplace Discrimination

WASHINGTON — House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and a few of his Democratic colleagues are urging other members of Congress to include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers in their office anti-discrimination policies.

There currently is no federal law protecting LGBT individuals from workplace discrimination, although some states have different policies. While the Senate passed such a measure in 2013, the House never took it up.
