Trump's most blatant assault yet on LGBTQ rights. JENNIFER WEXTON.

I’ve made it a priority to fight so that Americans no longer face discrimination because of who they are or who they love.

And David, I’m enraged by the latest actions of Donald Trump against the LGBTQ community. His administration is taking steps to allow private employers to fire employees based on sexual orientation.

As reported by Buzzfeed News on Friday:

The Trump administration took its hardest line yet to legalize anti-gay discrimination on Friday when it asked the Supreme Court to declare that federal law allows private companies to fire workers based only on their sexual orientation. An amicus brief filed by the Justice Department weighed in on two cases involving gay workers and what is meant by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans discrimination "because of sex." The administration argued courts nationwide should stop reading the civil rights law to protect gay, lesbian, and bisexual workers from bias because it was not originally intended to do so.

This is a blatant attempt to legalize bigotry against LGBTQ Americans, and we need to speak out immediately against it.

I want to get 7,500 citizen co-signers on board. Please add your name and tell the Supreme Court to reject Trump’s efforts to allow employment discrimination against LGBTQ Americans.

The Trump administration’s outrageous legal filing is only the latest step in their campaign against LGBTQ rights. They’ve made it harder for same-sex couples to adopt. They ended an Obama-era rule that protected transgender Americans in public housing programs from discrimination. And they’ve let Mitch McConnell hold up a Senate vote on the Equality Act for months.

The media spends a lot of time on Trump’s erratic behavior, tweets, and offensive statements. At the end of the day, what’s even more disturbing to me are his policies -- because his policies go right against the values of liberty, fairness, and justice that I’ve fought for my whole career.

His administration’s argument for employment discrimination should be condemned across the political spectrum. And that’s why I need your help today so we can raise our voices as high as possible.

Add your name now and demand that the Supreme Court stand on the side of equality.

Thank you,

Jennifer
