Which employers are included?
ENDA applies to the same entities covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These include private employers with 15 or more employees, labor unions, employment agencies, and federal, state and local governments, The legislation exempts the Armed Forces, religious institutions, and employers with less than 15 employees.

Gender identity is essential to the bill.
It is critical that the bill cover both sexual orientation and gender identity. The express inclusion of gender identity is vital because transgender people face pervasive workplace discrimination, and existing federal law has proven inadequate to protect these workers. On this, the LGBT community is speaking in one voice: we must move forward with employment protections that will protect all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
