               THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FUND'S
              DOCUMENTING DISCRIMINATION PROJECT
 
 
     The Human Rights Campaign Fund (HRCF) has worked for many
months to secure the introduction of a federal jobs-
discrimination bill.  The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of
1994 will prohibit job discrimination based on sexual
orientation.  HRCF hopes that hearings on this bill will take
place this year.
 
     For those hearings, and for many other purposes, HRCF seeks
to compile stories of people who have suffered job discrimination
based on sexual orientation.  HRCF can use these stories as part
of the documents it submits to congressional committees at the
hearings.  Individuals who suffered job discrimination can speak
at events and to the press, and could be called to testify before
legislative committees, at the state and local level and in the
U.S. Congress.  Anyone who wishes to remain anonymous will be
able to do so.
 
     If you have suffered job discrimination based on your sexual
orientation, please fill out the following form and e-mail it to
"doc.disc@glib.org" or send it to: Sofia Michelakis, Documenting
Discrimination, HRCF, P.O. Box 1396, Washington, DC  20013; (202)
628-4160 (voice), 347-5323 (FAX).  Please distribute copies to
your friends and, if they have suffered this type of discrimina-
tion, urge them to fill out the form and send it in.  Only by
working together can we make sure this type of discrimination is
made forever illegal in the United States. Thanks for your help.

                    DOCUMENTING DISCRIMINATION
          A PROJECT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FUND
 
                                      
     Anti-gay job discrimination occurs every day in the United
States, yet only eight states and a few cities and counties have
laws to protect against it.  Now members of Congress are
considering a federal law to protect lesbian, gay, and bisexual
Americans from job discrimination.  But we will need your help to
enact it.  The most important thing you can do to help is to tell
us about discrimination you have faced.
 
     If you have a true story to tell about being fired, losing a
job opportunity or promotion, or facing on-the-job harassment
because of your sexual orientation, we need to hear it.  Please
take a few minutes to fill out and return this form immediately.
 
     If your friends also have stories to tell, please copy this
form and share it with them or call us for more copies.
 
     For more information, please call the Documenting
Discrimination Project at the Human Rights Campaign Fund at (202)
628-4160.
