WASHINGTON<\/strong> \u2014 Estudiante de primer a\u00f1o de EE. UU.
\nEl senador Jeff Merkley present\u00f3 el mi\u00e9rcoles un proyecto de ley para proteger a gays y lesbianas
\nde la discriminaci\u00f3n en el lugar de trabajo, retomando una causa defendida durante mucho tiempo por el Senado
\nel veterano senador Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merkley, D-Ore., dijo que
\nfue un honor que Kennedy lo eligi\u00f3 para patrocinar la \u00faltima versi\u00f3n de la ley.
\nKennedy ha recortado casi todas sus actividades en el Senado este a\u00f1o mientras
\n\u00e9l lucha contra el c\u00e1ncer de cerebro.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKennedy quer\u00eda pasar el
\nbatuta en este tema, que est\u00e1 muy cerca de su coraz\u00f3n, a alguien que se preocupa mucho
\nmucho al respecto\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cCreo profundamente que nuestra naci\u00f3n de
\nla igualdad ante la ley tiene que incluir la igualdad en el empleo\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley lo hace ilegal
\ndespedir, no contratar o discriminar a un empleado bas\u00e1ndose \u00fanicamente en su
\nsu orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merkley contin\u00faa una historia
\nde los legisladores de Oreg\u00f3n que se asocian con Kennedy para promover los derechos de los homosexuales. de Merkley
\npredecesor, el senador republicano Gordon Smith, copatrocin\u00f3 varios derechos de los homosexuales
\nfacturas con Kennedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oreg\u00f3n ya tiene una
\nley de no discriminaci\u00f3n laboral en los libros, que entr\u00f3 en vigor en 2008,
\nlo que significa que la ley federal no cambiar\u00eda mucho para gays y lesbianas en el
\nestado.<\/span><\/p>\n

En el frente local <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Pero simb\u00f3licamente, la ley
\nsignificar\u00eda mucho para la comunidad, dijo Jenni Peskin, directora ejecutiva de
\nCoalici\u00f3n por la Dignidad Humana basada en Bend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de la gente no se da cuenta
\nque hasta 2008 en Oregon, era legal despedir a alguien que era gay o
\nlesbiana o percibida como gay o lesbiana\u201d, dijo Peskin. \u201cPara poder compartir estos
\nderechos humanos en todo el pa\u00eds es un gran paso adelante en el movimiento por la igualdad\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

En 2004, cuatro a\u00f1os antes
\nLa ley de no discriminaci\u00f3n de Oreg\u00f3n entr\u00f3 en vigor, el Concejo Municipal de Bend hizo
\nun crimen para discriminar a cualquier persona en Bend basado en el sexo de una persona
\norientaci\u00f3n. Protege a los homosexuales de la discriminaci\u00f3n en materia de vivienda, empleo y
\nlugares p\u00fablicos, como asientos en restaurantes.<\/span><\/p>\n

La C\u00e1mara de Bend de
\nComercio se opuso a la ordenanza en ese momento, argumentando que podr\u00eda dejar
\nempresas vulnerables a juicios fr\u00edvolos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pero la c\u00e1mara actual
\nEl presidente electo Troy Reinhardt dijo que no tiene conocimiento de ning\u00fan negocio que haya tenido un
\nproblema con la ley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEn lo que a m\u00ed respecta,
\nno ha sido un problema\u201d, dijo Reinhardt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aprobar la ley tambi\u00e9n proporcionar\u00eda
\nun logro para ayudar a construir hacia la expansi\u00f3n del matrimonio homosexual, dijo Peskin. Oreg\u00f3n
\nlos votantes aprobaron una prohibici\u00f3n constitucional del matrimonio homosexual en 2004, con un 56 por ciento
\naprobaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPodemos mirar leyes como
\n(Ley de No Discriminaci\u00f3n en el Empleo) como un gran paso adelante hacia las cosas
\ncomo el matrimonio igualitario\u201d, dijo Peskin. \u201cNos permite empezar a tener estos
\nconversaciones.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Parte de una marea creciente
\nen los derechos de los homosexuales <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Merkley y Kennedy han
\nya atrajo a otros 36 copatrocinadores para el proyecto de ley federal, incluido Maine
\nLas republicanas Olympia Snowe y Susan Collins. El siguiente paso, dijo Merkley, es
\nreunirse con esos senadores para establecer una estrategia para convertir el proyecto de ley en ley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aunque los federales
\nproyecto de ley contra la discriminaci\u00f3n no sali\u00f3 del comit\u00e9 en 2005, la \u00faltima vez
\nse present\u00f3 en el Senado, Merkley dijo que las cosas han cambiado. Negocios
\nen todo el pa\u00eds, incluida Nike de Portland, se han adherido al proyecto de ley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Y aunque el presidente
\nEl personal de Barack Obama no ha confirmado su apoyo al proyecto de ley a Merkley, el
\nEl sitio web de la Casa Blanca dice que Obama \u201ccontin\u00faa apoyando el Empleo
\nLey de No Discriminaci\u00f3n y cree que nuestro empleo contra la discriminaci\u00f3n
\nlas leyes deben ampliarse para incluir la orientaci\u00f3n sexual y la identidad de g\u00e9nero\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahora,
\n\u201cla marea de reconocer que es inaceptable discriminar est\u00e1 aumentando\u201d,
\ndijo Merkley. \u201cLas personas deben ser juzgadas en el trabajo por su trabajo, no por su
\norientaci\u00f3n sexual.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
