Direction: Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

"“Qualified, hardworking Americans are denied job opportunities, fired or otherwise discriminated against just because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)"”. Even with the passing and enforcement of employment anti-discrimination laws, statistics show that persons with minority status such as people of color, persons with disabilities and women continue to experience discrimination in the workplace, particularly sexual minorities - LGBT persons. LGBT individuals who are also ethnic minorities are at an even greater disadvantage, with African-American transgender people faring the worst. To date, no federal law exists which consistently protects LGBT individuals from discriminatory practices in the workplace. It is still legal in 29 states to discriminate against employees and job applicants based on their sexual orientation, and legal in 38 states to discriminate based on gender identity. There is no state-wide non-discrimination law that protects individuals based on sexual orientation in America.

What can be concluded from the passage?

A) The state laws do not protect LGBT community until the necessary extent

B) The state laws protects the LGBT community people with reasonable discrimination

C) There two kinds of minorities as one is socially deprived and another are LGBT

D) None of these
