The American Civil Liberties Union is working with a coalition of groups to pass a bill that adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the already existing West Virginia human rights law – and we need your help. We’re looking for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people in West Virginia with stories of discrimination. Real people with real stories will help us convince the state legislature to support this bill.
Being LGBT shouldn’t be a hazard to your employment or cause you to be denied housing or services from businesses like supermarkets or hardware stores. Help end unfairness by encouraging anyone you know who may have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity to complete our online survey below.
