LGBT Non-Discrimination Bill Introduced




This week Rep. Frankel introduced HB 300, legislation that would prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public accomodations because of one's sexual orientation or gender identity or expression with 78 other co-sponsors from across the state!

Things are really coming together for the Lobby Day and Rally on Tuesday, March 17 at the statehouse in Harrisburg!  Together we will really stand together and speak with one voice for LGBT equality across the state! 

We have more information about the free buses from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.  The bus will be leaving Pittsburgh at 7:30am from the IBEW Local 5 Hall at 5 Hot Metal Street in Pittsburgh.  The bus will leave from Center City, Philadelphia at 9:00am, with a specific location to be announced shortly. 

To reserve a seat on the Pittsburgh bus, email pittsburghequalitybus@gmail.com, and for the Philly bus, phillyequalitybus@gmail.com. 

For those not riding the buses, or coming from the center of the state, just meet at 11:30am at St. Michael's Lutheran Church at 118 State Street for complimentary lunch and lobby training!
