Last week the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, known as ENDA, was introduced in the Senate (S.815) and the House. This bill, in its current form (with the exception of trans inclusion, first offered in 2007), has been considered in every Congress, with one exception, since 1994, and originally was introduced in more comprehensive form back in 1974 by Congresswoman Bella Abzug. While today's bill is limited only to employment protections, this has been, and continues to be, the signature federal LGBT civil rights bill.
