Discrimination Against Gay or Transgender Individuals
Legal Protection in Pennsylvania
Neither the state of Pennsylvania nor the United States Government has explicitly enacted protections against discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender workers. However, the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as some other municipalities, have enacted laws that make it illegal to make negative employment decisions based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
