VERMONT- XpertHR.com recently rated Vermont as one of the best places to live and work for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender residents; also known as L-G-B-T.Federal Law does not protect L-G-B-T people in the work environment, but discrimination has faded as more companies are becoming accepting.

Vermont is well known for being a pro-gay state, but some resistance towards the L-G-B-T community is felt here in the Northeast Kingdom.

After one local gay activists speaks his voice, he wants it known that it is not all that bad. Local retired minister Brendan Hadash said that it is still difficult to be openly gay as a teacher, but over all this community is a very accepting place to live in.
