Employment Non-Discrimination Act

Stonewall Democrats, along with an amazing coalition of gay advocacy organizations and bloggers, are asking people like you and me to support their petition. Their goal was to gather through their No Substitute site 3,000 signatures; and take them to Congress to show the support for an all inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

Well .... they're up to 5100+ signatures.

Oh hell yeah.

Discrimination isn't sweet. Congress has the chance to pass HR 2015, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would protect Americans from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Now a substitute bill has been introduced as HR 3685, which would not stop discrimination based on gender identity. Removing gender identity from ENDA would leave an artificial aftertaste. Not only would the substitute bill leave some working Americans behind, it would also create divisions among Democrats and fair-minded advocates.

Please go to their website and sign the petition. They have about a week to go before delivering the signatures to Congres. Take a moment and email this post to your friends and ask them to do the same. I'd love to see that number go from 5 to 10k.
