The Employment Non-Discrimination Act this week elicited predominantly favorable reactions during a congressional hearing from lawmakers who lauded the legislation as a means to protect more Americans from workplace discrimination.

The House Education & Labor Committee heard testimony Wednesday regarding ENDA, which would bar job bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), the committee's chair, said the measure would "ensure that employment decisions are based on merit and performance and not prejudice."
