Press Release
The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA) announced its support for including transgender people in the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The legislation as originally written would ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, perceived sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. Last week, however, congressional leaders put forward a revised version which omitted protections based on gender identity and expression, stating that this was necessary to obtain sufficient votes for passage.
