WASHINGTON \u2013 Hoy, el Comit\u00e9 de Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones del Senado de los EE. UU. (HELP) celebr\u00f3 una audiencia sobre el proyecto de ley patrocinado por el senador Jeff Merkley de Oreg\u00f3n y el senador Mark Kirk (R-IL) que pondr\u00eda fin a la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral para las personas LGBT. La Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo, o ENDA, declara ilegal discriminar a los trabajadores por motivos de identidad de g\u00e9nero u orientaci\u00f3n sexual.<\/p>\n

\n

"La libertad frente a la discriminaci\u00f3n laboral es s\u00f3lo una cuesti\u00f3n de justicia fundamental", dijo Merkley despu\u00e9s de la audiencia. \u201cNadie deber\u00eda ver amenazado su derecho a ganarse la vida por ser qui\u00e9n es. Esta audiencia es un paso fundamental hacia la igualdad para todos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

"El senador Everett Dirksen, un conservador fiscal y moderado social de Illinois que ayud\u00f3 a aprobar la Ley de Derechos Civiles, sirve como modelo para continuar con los principios de esta legislaci\u00f3n", dijo un portavoz del senador Kirk. \u201cNada ofrece m\u00e1s dignidad que un empleo y la econom\u00eda estadounidense necesita una fuerza laboral productiva, diversa y competitiva. Este pa\u00eds obtendr\u00e1 m\u00e1s empleos y tendr\u00e1 mayores ingresos cuando las personas m\u00e1s calificadas tengan las mejores oportunidades, independientemente de su orientaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Menos de la mitad de todos los estados tienen protecciones legales sobre la base de la orientaci\u00f3n sexual o la identidad de g\u00e9nero, a pesar de que los estadounidenses LGBT reportan discriminaci\u00f3n laboral y desempleo en tasas mucho m\u00e1s altas que el promedio estadounidense.<\/p>\n
