Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., reintroduces ENDA, the Employment Nondiscrimination Act!

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.,Yesterday reintroduced the Employment Non-discrimination Act (ENDA), which would prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, hailed today’s bipartisan reintroduction of an inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would create federal protections against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill is a critical piece of an economic empowerment agenda for the LGBT community, as detailed in a recent memo by HRC: www.hrc.org/documents/EconomicEmpowerment.pdf.
