Employee Non-Discrimination Act protects transgender community

Amid the debate over the new health care law, financial regulatory reform and President Barack Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, some important legislation can fall through the cracks.

One such bill is the Employee Non-Discrimination Act. This bill is notable because if passed it would protect transgender people from discrimination in the workplace.

The transgender community needs protection under the law and this bill would accomplish that. However, there is resistance from some members of Congress. This is baffling. Our elected officials have the chance to ensure all citizens of this country are treated fairly but some are balking at this responsibility.
