Where Orgs Stand

Louisiana Trans AdvocatesOPPOSE

This bill would make it illegal for employers to discipline or terminate employees who intentionally misgender others or misuse their pronouns. This limits workplace protections related to respectful and inclusive conduct. In practice, this could make it harder for trans employees to address harassment or maintain a respectful work environment while prioritizing and supporting the disrespectful behavior of misgendering someone.

At a time when Louisiana still lacks statewide employment protections for LGBTQ+ people, this bill moves in the opposite direction.
