Things are looking good for ENDA

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which has long been championed by out Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., this year stands a good chance of becoming law, because of a combination of factors. ENDA has the backing of President Barack Obama and strong support in the Senate. It also has a powerful advocate in Diego Sanchez, a transgender member of Frank's staff whose presence has helped to educate lawmakers on transgender issues.
