I received a very supportive reply from Senate President Jeff Kessler this morning after contacting him about marriage equality in WV, he suggests we take immediate action and contact Senator Corey Palumbo, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Currently Senate bill 14, which would add sexual orientation to the Human Rights Act, thereby guaranteeing housing and employment protections is in his committee. Please contact Senator Palumbo and let him know that this bill needs to pass through his committee and on to the floor! This bill also adds protections against age discrimination, so please contact Mr. Palumbo today.
Contact: corey.palumbo@wvsenate.gov or (304) 357-7880
Sample letter, feel free to expand it or write your own:
Senator Palumbo,
I urge you to pass Senate Bill 14 through the judicial committee. Adding sexual orientation to the protections afforded in the Human Rights Act is the right thing to d...o. Our WV schools have been so enlightened to add sexual orientation to their anti-bullying policies this year, won’t you afford those same protections to LGBT folks who are dealing with overgrown bullies in the workplace and even in their own homes? Please take a strong stand against this behavior and FOR this bill.
Sincerely,
[your contact info]
