ENDA

An amendment to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that excludes protections based on gender identity and expression has led LGBT advocates, with the notable exception of HRC, to pull their support for the legislation. HRC's only trans board member has resigned in protest.

ENDA would theoretically protect me from being fired for sleeping with a woman. But really, my concerns at work are less about who I sleep with and more about my inability to pass. Supporters of ENDA as amended are saying it's ok to be a homo or even a heterosexual, just make sure you look and act straight. So, if all you lesbians could start looking like Beyonce that'd be great, but too bad so sad if you're a purportedly straight Janet Reno. Ugh.
