(116,031 posts)In an at-will state an employee can be fired because the boss doesn't like his neckties, but not because he's black. But since there's no federal law protecting LGBT employees, they have to rely on state laws. And some states' laws don't protect those employees even if they protect racial minorities.

(4,723 posts)I'm in Missouri, my employer has its own non-discrimination policy. Of course, they can still fire you for being gay, and just say it is for something else.
