What's At Stake?Say NO to DiscriminationDid you know you can be fired from your job? Denied housing? Thrown out of a restaurant?All because you are (or are perceived to be) lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Say NO to Discrimination! Everyday, someone in Missouri has to face this reality and learn that in this state it is indeed legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity. PROMO's priority proactive legislation, the Missouri Nondiscrimination Act, would change this reality. MONA would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, employment, and access to public accommodations. PROMO has reintroduced MONA in both the Missouri Senate and House with Senator Joan Bray and Representative Mike Talboy as the lead sponsors. Sign the Say NO to Discrimination Petition to ensure that you receive updates on MONA and PROMO's other legislative priorities. SAVE THE DATE: LGBT Equality Day 2009 is Wednesday, March 25th!
