Pennsylvania sentiment is swinging in favor of the gay rights movement. A new poll released at a capitol news conference Wednesday shows 69 percent of Keystone state residents believe an employer shouldn't fire gay employees, and 62 percent want rights for LGBT citizens. On the East Coast, Pennsylvania is the last state standing for traditional marriage in the workplace, the final state where it is still legal to fire a gay employee if they go against the company's moral or religious code.
