THERE IS NO ROOM FOR "COMPROMISE" ON ENDA

Workplace non-discrimination legislation must include sexual orientation AND gender identity

House Democratic leaders have expressed their intent to remove non-discrimination provisions covering transgender persons from the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). 

The professed justification for including some LGBT people and not others is that ENDA may not pass if transgender-inclusive language is part of the bill.  This would mean that, even if the bill were to pass and become law, it would still be legal in the vast majority of states, including Texas, to fire someone from their job simply because of their gender identity and/or expression.

At Equality Federation and in the states, our mission is the elimination of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

We need you to let your U.S. Representative and the House leadership know that you support ENDA as it is written NOW - including gender identity.  Our elected leaders need to know that supporters of LGBT equality do NOT support legislation that protects some community members and not others.

There is no room for "compromise" when the subject is equality for all.
