Now that the hate crimes bill has been enacted into law, the Next Big Thing is ENDA. That's the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the bill to stop job discrimination because of sexual orientation and gender identity.

I'll continue to post a legislator of the day here on Bilerico every weekday I've been told by the Powers That Be that our community lobbying efforts here are having an important effect. However, it's also important to stop and take a look at where we are overall on this bill. Thus, a new weekly feature: the Weekly ENDA Update.

I'd like to talk about three items: the upcoming Senate hearing, the upcoming House vote, and our overall strategy.

Bump this to the top I'd say for a constant feed.
