Anxiety is a burden. But having anxiety doesn’t make you a burden.

Next week, state legislators in Kansas will hear a bill that would protect LGBT people in the state from discrimination. 

It’s especially important because last year in Kansas, the governor rescinded an order to protect LGBT workers, removing the protected classifications of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” 

Equality Kansas said at the time the protections for Kansas workers was removed: “Gay, lesbian, and transgender state employees across Kansas have trusted they would be safe from discrimination and harassment in their workplace but Sam Brownback has, by erasing their job protections, declared ‘open season’ on every one of them.

“If you work for the state, and have felt comfortable being ‘out’ at work knowing you had protection from bigotry, that protection is gone.

“If you work for the state, your measure of job performance is no longer the quality of your work, but rather who you love and go home to at the end of the day.
