Instead of supporting a united queer community, HRC dumped transgender people from ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not gender identity. Publically, HRC executive director Joe Solmonese said, "We absolutely do not support and, in fact, oppose legislation that is not absolutely inclusive." But behind the scenes, he worked to eliminate trans protections.
