Hey a Republican from my state doing something for us! But this is still unfair. Religious institutions continue to get special treatment such as tax breaks but get to discriminate.

I didn’t know the Senate had had a hearing on this in 2009.

They should have pursued this last session when they actually had the votes to pass it. Instead, they were too focused on DADT. I believe prioritizing DADT over ENDA has done a major disservice to the gay rights movement. DADT was already being repealed through the courts. ENDA, on the contrary, cannot come from the courts and is completely dependent on a Democrat-controlled congress to pass it.

God please past this. I has been an uphille battle for me on my Federal Job because there is a no-discrimination policy in effect for hiring, but not once you get in, not for healt care coverage of my medical condition (Explicitly caled out as an exclusion) , but if I get obeese then they can provide surgery for that, and all of the related health care. The onyl way a federal Employee can get treatment is to be incarcerated in a Federal Prison.
