I'm reading Sherry Wolf's Sexuality and Socialism: History, Politics, and Theory of LGBT Liberation. I came across an interesting piece of information.

In 1974 Bella Abzug introduced the original version of ENDA called "The Equality Act of 1974″

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Abzug 🔗

Abzug served the state of New York in the United States House of Representatives, representing her district in Manhattan, from 1971 to 1977. For part of her term, she also represented part of The Bronx as well. She was one of the first members of Congress to support gay rights, introducing the first federal gay rights bill, known as the Equality Act of 1974, with fellow Democratic New York City Representative, Ed Koch, a future mayor of New York City.
