Texas employers would no longer be able to discriminate against employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity, according to a bill filed by state Rep. Mike Villarreal (D-San Antonio). No federal law is in place to protect gay and transgender employees, though as of July 2009, 21 states have nondiscrimination laws, according to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
