Karen Ocamb has a great, wide-ranging interview up with Barney Frank about DADT, ENDA, and other LGBT legislation that's worth reading if you want to know what's up with what. And he's trying to rally the troops:

    So what the committee needs to do now is make sure we have the votes. There's only one way to do it - it doesn't mean marching, it doesn't mean waving signs. It means calling up their representatives - the members of the House who represent them - and say, please vote for this bill and please oppose watering down the transgender provision. But the House has already passed the bill without it, which helped us because it helps us focus. Call people and say we want you to support the bill and don't water down the transgender provision - because that's the point of political trouble. And they should start calling now. I believe we'll get a vote sometime this month.[...]

Barney Frank is my district's representative. Woooo.
Sometimes I feel like he's a superhero, and sometimes I feel like he's just like any other politician.
