Fifty Garden State activists just descended on the nation's capital to lobby our Congressional delegation to pass the Employment Non Discrimination Act and provide LGBT folks with legal protection in the workplace.  Presently it's perfectly legal to fire someone for being gay in 29 states.  It's worse for transgendered Americans who are unprotected in 38 states.   Passing ENDA would make it illegal to an employee based on his/her sexual orientation or gender identity.
