Watch Stephen's Interview Criticizing An Unfair Law That Puts Politicians Before Their Constituents

Read Stephen's column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "Missouri needs zero tolerance"

The state of Missouri should have zero tolerance for discrimination and sexual harassment. Shockingly, this common-sense statement is under attack in the Missouri House of Representatives. House Bill 205, which is currently moving through the House, is an attempt to weaken current laws that prohibit Missourians from being discriminated against or sexually harassed. Missourians currently are protected against discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations by the Missouri Human Rights Act.

Disappointingly, one omission in the act is sexual orientation. Missourians often are surprised to learn that it is perfectly legal to fire a worker, evict a tenet, even throw a patron out of a restaurant simply for being gay or appearing to be gay. Legislation that I sponsored to expand protection was stopped in committee last year.
