The Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) is having a hearing in the House of Representatives now, click here for a live feed of the coverage. ENDA would ensure that employees are protected from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity/expression. The bill would make sure that an employee cannot be fired, refused hiring, or promotion simply based on these attributes.
It is still legal in 29 states to fire someone for their sexual orientation, and in 38 states for gender identity.
The senate has for the first time introduced a fully inclusive ENDA. Please urge your senators to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation.

I sure will! But I will probably get the same type of party line response I posted today that I got from Arlen Specter on the DOMA repeal.
We have to keep speaking out though!
