Major LGBT organizations drop support for ENDA over religious exemptions

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act has lost the support of several major LGBT rights groups, including Lambda Legal, the Transgender Law Center, the American Civil Liberties Union, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. ENDA, which has grown into one of the LGBT community's top priorities, has faced criticism due to sweeping religious exemptions that could make the bill more likely to receive a vote in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
