Mashantucket Tribe implements policies friendly to LGBT employees


The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut is doing its part to make its casinos friendly to lesbian, gay bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) employees.

The tribe has implemented an equal employment policy for LGBT workers and same-sex couples are also eligible for medical benefits. The tribe also added LGBT businesses to its list of minority-owned businesses.

"Our Pequot culture has endured a lot of discrimination over the centuries so we understand the importance of being able to embrace all the freedoms" said tribal spokesperson Lori Potter, The New London Day reported.
