Dannel Malloy prepares to sign into law a bill that protects transgender people from discrimination, we're seeing a national trend that the population overwhelmingly supports workplace nondiscrimination protections for the LGBT community.
The Center for American Progress released poll results last week finding that 73 percent of likely 2012 voters support protecting gay and transgender people from workplace discrimination. Many demographics, including Democrats, Republicans, independent voters, Catholics, and the elderly agreed that sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected.
More interestingly, the study found that 90 percent of the respondents believed that a federal law already existed to protect gay and transgender people from workplace discrimination.
