HomoQuotable - Charles Perez
"There are no state or federal laws to support my claim. I’m relying on a new county ordinance, enacted last November, that added sexual orientation as a protected class. A positive outcome could help push the need for a state law and for the passage of the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which was recently reintroduced by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)." - Miami-based ABC News anchor Charles Perez, in a Daily Beast essay titled Why I Committed Career Suicide.
Perez has added a retaliation charge to his complaint, claiming he was fired for filing the complaint after he was demoted.
