Employment Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Wyoming

About 8,900 LGBT workers in Wyoming are not explicitly protected from discrimination under state or federal laws. Discrimination against LGBT employees in Wyoming has recently been documented in surveys, court cases, and other sources. Many corporate employers and public opinion in the state support protections for LGBT people in the workplace. If sexual orientation and gender identity were added to existing statewide non-discrimination laws, four more complaints would be filed in Wyoming each year. The cost of enforcing those complaints would be negligible, and would not require additional court or administrative staff.
