LGBT Rights in the USA in 2016

ENDA: Employment Non-Discrimination Act

SAP’s support strives to rectify this situation:

It is legal to be fired for being gay in 28 states; for being transgender in 31 states

For example, in Pennsylvania it is legal to be fired for being gay or transgender

Via Out & Equal Workplace Advocates:

As the LGBT community celebrates a historic

win with the right to marry across the United

States, companies are also asking what, if

anything, this means for them. LGBT

Americans are still not protected in the

workplace in 28 states based on sexual

orientation, and in 31 based on gender identity.

In nearly 80 countries it is illegal to be LGBT.

This means that couples who now have the

right to marry in the United States could be

fired for doing so, or imprisoned if traveling

outside the country for work.

In the Silicon Valley in California, we are privileged enough to enjoy:

Basic human rights

The protection of laws for our family

Job security

Not fearing for our lives for being who we are

What must we do on behalf of those who aren’t? Colleagues who:

Don’t dare come out in India

Fear for their physical safety in Russia

Cannot safely move with their spouses to the office in Saudi Arabia

Fear for their jobs in some places in the US

Feel helpless and see no options to go on right here at home

Pride@SAP North America – Our Role

MAJOR GOAL

Under the umbrella of Global Pride@SAP, make the North America region a great place to work for

current and future LGBT employees, thus helping achieve SAP and SAP customers’ vision and

objectives.

OBJECTIVES

Raise awareness with leaders, managers and employees of the business value of full inclusion,

why authenticity is key, and how to create a fair, safe and comfortable working environment for

Provide an open, safe, and fun social and networking forum in Silicon Valley for self-identified

LGBT employees and supporters, and help enable other locations to do the same.
