From cross-dressers to transsexuals to transmen to genderqueer young people, nearly 900 people attended the 18th annual Southern Comfort Conference this year, as the nation's largest transgender conference continues to diversify.

Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, gave the keynote speech at the conference, held Sept. 30 to Oct. 5 at Atlanta's Crowne Plaza Ravinia hotel. Keisling said during her Oct. 4 speech that Congress is very close to passing a version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would include both sexual orientation and gender identity.

Given what's going on now, its either going to be so forgot, or.... or they will do it right away as some token measure to get people's minds off the real problems.
