“…Although substantial gains have been made on advancing LGBT employment rights in some parts of the US and in other countries (Hebl et al, 2016), nothing can be taken for granted. In "State Sponsored Homophobia" (ILGA, 2016), the latest world survey of sexual orientation laws, the ILGA highlights that homosexuality remains illegal in 73 criminalizing states, and of these, 13 states (or parts thereof) retain and in some cases actively apply, the death penalty for same-sex sexual acts.…”

“…This situation is deplorable, requiring urgent empirical investigation and political action. Although substantial gains have been made on advancing LGBT employment rights in some parts of the US and in other countries (Hebl et al, 2016), nothing can be taken for granted. For example, emerging reports of an Executive Order from President Trump to protect "religious liberties," allowing employers to fire or refuse to hire LGBT people on the basis of their religious beliefs (Lovett, Gershman, & Radnofsky, 2017), is of grave concern, although it remains to be seen if it will materialize.…”

“…Heavy monitoring of society may not be necessary. There is research that finds that the simple fact of passing anti-discrimination legislation reduces discrimination; hence, legislation alone plays an important role in fostering social norms and attitudes that can effectively reduce discrimination (Hebl, Barron, Cox, & Corrington, 2016) and networks of activists who can help develop "soft laws" (informal processes) in recognition of anti-discrimination policies. A directive would also open the door for lawsuits when violations occur (Sanders, 2002;Vanhala, 2006).…”

In this article, we argue in favor of a macro-societal approach to protect people from the potential harms of personal information online. In the tension between information and privacy, "the right to be forgotten" is not an appropriate solution. Such a micro, individual-based answer puts the burden of protection on each person instead of on external entities that can abuse such knowledge. The personal responsibility to delete personal data is challenging because of the leakage of data that happens through the connections we have with others, many of whom do not share the same privacy preferences. We show that effective deletion is almost impossible (the eternity effect), and is unfair due to the resource burden it entails when users try to achieve it, while at the same time ensuring the potential benefits we can derive in the future from having personal information online. In addition, deletion requests can negatively affect other people who are in the same location and time frame and may not want to have their information deleted. Collectively, we argue also that society is worse off because these circumstances lead people to construct sanitized personas while perpetuating a culture of distrust. Given that the harm is real, we describe technology, societal norms, and the implementation of an antidiscrimination directive for the right to a personal life, and we provide evidence on how anti-discrimination efforts in the past have succeeded when legislation leads to the development of infrastructures that help to enforce them. The dissemination of personal information through public sites and social media is, as Mozart suggested in Cosi fan tutte, gradually educating humanity about human weaknesses.

“…Discrimination against members of the LGBT community is well documented in the literature surrounding LGBT nondiscrimination. Studies show that LGBT discrimination exists in America's workplaces and public spaces (Mallory and Sears 2011;Reed 2015;Hebl, Barron, Cox, and Corrington 2016). For example, roughly onefifth of all lesbian, gay, and bisexual workers report harassment or discrimination in the workplace and that number jumps to about one-half for transgender workers (Reed 2015).…”

“…In fact, most Americans believe federal law exists to protect LGBT people from discrimination, which poses a significant political barrier for passage of such laws (Smith 2005). Three-fourths of Americans think that LGBT are protected against being fired in the United States (Hebl, Barron, Cox, and Corrington 2016).…”

Cities take the lead : LGBT nondiscrimination policy adoption by local governments

Research Question 2: How many cities have LGBT nondiscrimination policies? A comprehensive survey of local LGBT nondiscrimination policies has not been thoroughly conducted since the late 1990s. The landscape of LGBT rights has changed dramatically in the last two decades. Therefore, before making any conclusions about why cities pass LGBT protections, this study includes a thoroughly researched survey of all cities and counties that have passed an LGBT nondiscrimination policy. Research Question 3: What types of LGBT nondiscrimination policies exist among local governments? LGBT nondiscrimination policies adopted by local governments differ in the degree to which they protect LGBT people. Some cities have ordinances with multiple protections and strong enforcement, while others have no protections for LGBT people. This study identifies six categories of LGBT policies that exist at the local level in the United States. Making distinctions between different types of LGBT nondiscrimination laws is important because LGBT activists should be clear about holding governments to the highest standards of LGBT protections. Practitioners and scholars must not conflate ordinances that have high levels of protections with those that are severely limited in scope or are nonbinding.
