"As the senators heard Kylar Broadus talk about his life and his experience of discrimination, they were clearly paying attention and they really seemed to be moved by his testimony. It was an important milestone for ENDA in the Senate.
"With Kylar's testimony, they clearly addressed the issue of discrimination against transgender people and seemed very comfortable asking him about his experiences and the gender identity provisions in the bill. He really put a face on the disastrous consequences that employment discrimination has for transgender people," she continued.
