ENDA the Line

December 5, 2014 by kellyholohan

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act [ENDA] would provide basic protections against workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. It currently includes a broad exemption for religious organizations. A recent U.S. Supreme court ruling in a case brought by Hobby Lobby said family-owned businesses do not have to offer their employees contraceptive coverage that conflict with the owners’ personal religious beliefs. As a result of this ruling, six of the nation’s leading LGBT rights advocacy groups withdrew their support for […]

Lift the Ban

December 3, 2014 by kellyholohan

The FDA’s lifetime ban on blood donation from gay men is discriminatory and perpetuates negative stereotypes.

Not So Sweet Cakes

November 25, 2014 by kellyholohan

A bakery is a business and not a “religious institution.” When the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa refused a same sex couple’s request for a wedding cake, they broke the law. Under the Oregon Equality Act, private businesses cannot deny anyone services based on sexual orientation. The owners, Melissa and Aaron Klein, are facing up to $150,000 in penalties, but plan to appeal any decision against their right to stand up for “religious freedom.”
