Equality for All of Us - No Compromise on ENDA
Workplace non-discrimination legislation must include gender identity

House Democratic leaders have expressed their intent to remove non-discrimination provisions covering transgender persons from the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). 

The professed justification for including some LGBT people and not others is that ENDA may not pass if transgender-inclusive language is part of the bill.  This would mean that, even if the bill were to pass and become law, it would still be legal in the vast majority of states, including Michigan, to fire someone from their job simply because of their gender identity and/or expression.

At Triangle Foundation we are working to eliminate discrimination based on
sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

We need you to let your U.S. Representative and the House leadership know that you support ENDA as it is written NOW - including gender identity.  Our elected leaders need to know that we do NOT support legislation that protects some community members and not others.

There is no room for "compromise" in equality.
