U.S. Senate Supports Gay Rights in Workplace

Bert Brannen, partner in the Atlanta office, was quoted in an Atlanta Business Chronicle article about a recent U.S. Senate ruling making discriminatory business hiring and employment practices based on sexual orientation or gender identity illegal. The article, “U.S. Senate Supports Gay Rights in Workplace,” included Bert’s  thoughts on the ruling stating, “I think there will be some vulnerable Republicans on social issues, particularly in the blue [Democratic-leaning] states. . .It’s really a law whose time has come.”
