Utah Trans workers: 67% experienced discrimination

Study shows half of Utah LGBT workers discriminated against - KSTU: "The study was based on Equality Utah's survey of 1,000 LGBT Utahns.

UCLA professor, Clifford Rosky helped put together the study, which finds 43 percent of the state's LGBT have experienced discrimination in employment -- transgendered workers alone were found at 67 percent."

This is particularly interesting given the recent enactment of local ordinances in Utah prohibiting anti-LGBT discrimination.
