Employment Discrimination
Advocacy
Advocacy groups exist in a few different forms, some that work on federal issues, and others that are more focused on state issues. States have the right to pass laws that offer protections that go beyond the federal laws -- the Civil Rights Act is the baseline federal standard. As an example, the federal policy on sexual orientation as a protected class relies largely on EEOC rulings, as it is not written into federal law. Several states have therefore chosen to write their own employment discrimination laws to extend protections to other classes than those who are covered under federal law. The state laws may also apply to more companies, as under federal law a company must have 15 employees in order for the law to apply.
States that lack employment discrimination protections will often have advocacy groups that are fighting at the state level to have protections extended to those who have not enjoyed such protections previously. One such group is Georgia Equality, which has a mission to "advance fairness, safety and opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities" (GeorgiaEquality.org, 2016). Georgia is one of 28 states that do not offer protections to workers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The group works with other like-minded advocacy groups, including those who have had success and those working on states like Georgia that do not offer protections at the state level.
Level
As noted, Georgia Equality is working at the state level, where it seeks to have the State of Georgia enact a law that offers employment discrimination protection for LGBT people. The group notes that the EEOC ruling in July 2015 that Title VII includes protection based on sexual orientation, but the ruling this is just a legal pathway. The wording regarding LGBT...

Transgender Employment Discrimination There is a growing body of evidence that transgender individuals frequently experience some type of discrimination during the employment process in the United States today. Although there are only a few high-profile cases, there are a significant number of employment claims being asserted.

adults have an episode or two from their youth of which they are not extremely proud. Perhaps it involved sneaking a beer (or several beers) at a social function, or lying about one's plans for the evening to get permission to attend a questionable event. Most kids have learned the hard way on at least a few experiences -- speeding, missing curfew, or cheating on a test. Younger children
