(Washington) Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) says he will introduce a Senate version of the the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the current session.

"I'm working with leadership to move this bill forward as quickly as possible," Kennedy said in a statement.

The Massachusetts Democrat has a long history of advocating for LGBT civil rights.  Most recently he guided the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act to passage.

NOW......would be a good time to get involved with a last chance effort at having gender identity language included in the senate bill.
If you want to (and I can't understand anyone here not wanting to!) take an active role in your future, you can contact Kennedy's office (phoning is better, as they are all logged as a 'vote') here:
