If you work hard and do your job effectively, you shouldn’t be fired just because you’re gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Great performance deserves a fair workplace.

“Regarding the various segments of the population which comprise the employment pool, it is wise for businesses to acknowledge that those same segments of the population are also included in the various target markets. Karma is a powerful force.”
– Wayne Boles, Community Relations at Telesis, Inc.
It's my responsibility to provide a safe, fair, supportive environment free of fear of discrimination in which capable, skilled staff members can feel affirmed and free to maximize their gifts and contributions.

People should be judged at work by their performance, not their sexual orientation. If you work hard and do your job effectively, you shouldn’t be fired just because you’re gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Great performance deserves a fair workplace. LGBT people are productive members of the Lincoln community, who contribute to the economy and it’s only fair they be able to earn a living like all other productive workers.
