However, employment protection exists in many large states including California, New York, and Illinois (blue states), and in major metropolitan areas in states like Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri where corporate jobs that employ skilled workers are located. The areas in which a gay or trans person is not protected in employment are rural areas in red states - where it probably it not safe to be wide open and out anyway. However, it is safe to say that the great majority of LGBT Americans - I would guess over 92% - are protected in public and private employment, simply because fewer and fewer Americans are living in outlying rural counties in red states.
