Congress Apt to Yank Trans Rights From ENDA

October 4, 2007 ,
Many leading LGBT rights organizations, notably absent the Human Rights Campaign, opposed indications on Sept 27 that the House of Representatives would remove references to transgender individuals in the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, known as ENDA. Proponents of the maneuver, such as openly gay Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), who sponsors ENDA, argue that it would give the legislation a better chance of passing when a vote comes as expected in the next few weeks.

Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act may exclude transgender issues.
