Survey: Americans Favor GLBT Rights at Work

It has been reported in a recent national survey that seven out of ten heterosexual adults agree that how an employee performs at their job should be the standard for judging an employee, not whether or not they are transgender. The survey also showed eight out of ten heterosexual adults strongly or somewhat agree that an employees performance, not their sexual orientation, should be the determining factor in the employees rating.

The survey also revealed that;

– Three out of four (75%) heterosexuals feel that spouses of married heterosexual employees and committed partners of gay and lesbian employees both should receive leave when they lose a spouse/partner or close family member.
– More than two-thirds (68%) of heterosexuals feel that spouses of married heterosexual employees and committed partners of gay and lesbian employees both should receive leave rights for family and medical emergencies as outlined in FMLA.
– And, almost two-thirds (64%) of heterosexuals feel that spouses of married heterosexual employees and committed partners of gay and lesbian employees both should receive untaxed health benefits under federal law.
