Arizona bans discrimination against queer state employees
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano told queer-rights group Arizona Human Rights Fund that she has signed an executive order banning discrimination against queer state employees. "We're ecstatic," says Kathie Gummere, public affairs director for AHRF. "It's one more step forward for us in gaining the rights that everyone else takes for granted. I hear from at least one person a week who feels like they were discriminated in the workplace," Gummere said. The Center for Arizona Policy, a conservative Christian group, called the governor's action a "total outrage" and vowed to find ways to reverse the order. Gay.com
