Now, this same scenario is likely to be repeated in the US House of Representatives despite massive, broad-based lobbying by nearly 300 LGBT and allied organizations. Matt Foreman, who today is executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, is one of the key leaders in the fight to put transgender protections back into ENDA, and Lambda Legal and the Empire State Pride Agenda are also on board this time.
Nearly ever group pressing the issue is unwilling to compromise on the gender identity question, but in perhaps a deadly blow to the effort the Human Rights Campaign, the community's top lobbyist on Capitol Hill, has already stated it would not oppose Frank's narrower legislative proposal.
