ENDA is not Over

H.R. 3685, the water-down version of ENDA, has passed the Committee of Education and Labor this morning and is making its was to the floor. We had Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin’s committment to ammend the bill and restore the language to include gender-identity.

It is historically unprecedented that Congress would pass a civil rights law that the civil rights community–including those it is meant to protect–do not want.

There is one thing positive that came out of the past two weeks - we have never seen the LGBT community united so strongly and what we’e accomplished in the past two weeks far exceeds the effectiveness of the advocacy effort of any single community.

There will be more calls to action in the next several weeks, stay tuned.
