Resource Center of Dallas working with GLBT Chamber to offer job fair featuring employers who value diversity in the workplace

Imagine working at a job for six years with exceptional performance reviews. A new boss comes in, and in the space of three weeks you lose your job — because you are gay.

It happens every day, in just about every industry you can think of — because it's all perfectly legal.

This is what happened to one of my colleagues at Resource Center of Dallas at a previous employer. Sadly, it could happen to just about any member of the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender community.
