What Next...Equal Rights

Gay Workers FMLA Rights

"Labor Secretary Hilda Solis plans to announce Wednesday that the government would require employers to extend the option that has been available to heterosexual workers for almost two decades.

The Family and Medical Leave Act allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year to take care of loved ones or themselves. The 1993 law, which also allows employees to take time off for adoptions, has previously only been applied to heterosexual couples. "
