"As you probably remember, the version of ENDA originally introduced in April banned workplace discrimination on basis of either sexual orientation or gender expression, but Barney Frank, D-Massachuse__s, pulled his own bill from the House and replaced it with a weakened version that only provided protection against job discrimination based on sexual orientation.
