Representative Jerry Knowles

Dear Representative Knowles,

I am writing to urge your support of comprehensive LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination legislation.

Discrimination is a serious issue that negatively impacts thousands of LGBT Pennsylvanians, including your constituents. Unfortunately, our commonwealth remains the only state in the Northeast that has not updated its nondiscrimination law to protect LGBT people in housing, employment, and public accommodations.

Every Pennsylvanian should be able to work, live, and thrive in their community. Strong economies and societies are based in making sure each individual has an equal chance to fully participate. When LGBT Pennsylvanians are treated just like everyone else, our communities are strengthened with respect and mutual regard.

People across Pennsylvania agree: according to the most recent polls, a majority of Pennsylvanians support legislation that would protect LGBT people from discrimination.

Our state constitution guarantees that every Pennsylvanian is born equally free. Adopting this common-sense nondiscrimination legislation will ensure that LGBT people can live and work with dignity and on equal terms alongside their neighbors.

Please support comprehensive nondiscrimination legislation and do everything you can to ensure this bill becomes law.
