Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.), one of two out congresspeople, recently mentioned in an interview with Mile High Political Views, an LGBT political blog, that he thinks there is a higher chance of passing a transgender-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) through a post-November congress stacked with more Democrats.

Rep. Barney Frank"If we can pick up 15 Democratic seats, then I think we are in a good position to pass a transgender-inclusive ENDA," Frank said, when asked about what he thinks the LGBT community's first priority should be if the Democratic party experiences a "big win" in November.
