They made it illegal to discriminate against gays in Illinois, but I still got discriminated at Pentair. 5 months into the contract to perm job they said they wanted to make me permanent but the buyout was expensive. Then they find out "I'm gay" [only crossdress] and then they restructure me out of my job. And if I sued I could be blacklisted, but my recruiter was good to me and I didn't want to offend him.
Now I look for jobs nationwide instead of the discriminatory ones in Chicago. Lost many jobs in Chicago when they found out, and I typically run into a low life factory worker who wants to bring me down with gay gossip. That's why my current NASA job is awesome! No factory workers here, and actually they have one employee who had a sex change to be female. Maybe Gov jobs are protected?
