The United States House of Representatives held the first-ever Congressional hearings on June 26, 2008 addressing employment discrimination against transgender people.  A video recording of the hearing, along with transcripts of the testimony, can now be accessed online.

 Hot Topics for the LGBT Community Minimize

These are some of the issues that impact the everyday lives of LGBT people in Arizona and across the country.  Overwhelmingly, scientific research has indicated that LGBT people and families are equally valuable, healthy and capable as all others, strongly supporting the goals of our community.   

As part of the movement to undermine LGBT equality and opportunity, the anti-gay industry has begun to attack the importance and scientific accuracy of this large body of research.  As you can see in the attached research summaries, scholars and scientists from a range of research disciplines advocate for LGBT equality, while responding to the distortions of the anti-gay industry.

Equality Arizona encourages you to download the "hot topic" research summaries and use them to educate yourself and others against the anti-gay industry's efforts to rewrite science to accomodate their own agenda.

A very special thanks to Denver Lewellen, Ph.D., who researched and wrote most of the attached research summaries. To contact Dr. Lewellen, email publicaffairs@equalityarizona.org.
