Colorado Companies Encouraged to Comply With Nondiscrimination Law Before One-Year Anniversary of Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA); New Resource Sheds Light on Gender Expression, Discrimination and the Law

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

One year ago this month, Colorado passed into law an amended version of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA).

As the one-year anniversary approaches, the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado is encouraging corporations, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and other business entities to ensure that they are in compliance with the law.

Signed into law by Governor Bill Ritter on May 25, 2007 and effective August 3, 2007, ENDA expands Colorado's employment nondiscrimination protections to include sexual orientation - an important step toward ending discrimination in the workplace for all Coloradans.

"Until this legislation was passed, it was lawful in Colorado to fire someone simply because of their being gay," said Mary Lou Makepeace, executive director of the Gay & Lesbian Fund.

They need to have policies and procedures in place, as well as staff training, to avoid any allegations of discrimination," says Pat Steadman, vice president of Mendez, Steadman & Associates, a political consulting firm.

Since it was founded in 1996, the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado has provided financial support and critical resources to hundreds of nonprofit organizations that share the fund's commitment to advancing equality and improving quality of life for people across Colorado.

AScribe transmits news releases directly to newsroom computer systems and desktops of major media organizations via a supremely trusted channel - The Associated Press.
