For the past several months, I've been calling on you to write both you Senators and Congressmen in support of ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Thank you to those of you who followed through on this request. As a result of the calls for support by fair-minded Americans everywhere, ENDA has passed the House. As written, the bill will only offer employment protections to gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. Protections for those who are transgendered were stripped from the legislation. One day, I am confident that those protection will rightly exist.
Now, we must look to the Senate for enacting these protections. Thereafter, President Bush will surely be a hurdle, but the fight must be brought to him. Justice demands it.
