Even in the US, where members of the same sex can marry in 35 states (as I did in New York last April), in 29 states it is still legal to fire someone solely on the basis of their sexual orientation. In 34 states, it is legal to fire a transgender employee.
美国已有35个州承认同性婚姻（我也于去年4月在纽约结婚），但仍有29个州，光凭性取向原因就可以合法地解雇员工。有34个州可以合法解雇变性人雇员。
