2009 was a year of momentum for the LGBT community. For the first time, federal legislation was passed that included sexual orientation and gender identity, over 250,000+ LGBT people and allies marched on Washington for civil rights, same-sex marriage was legalized in several states, and the Obama administration fulfilled some campaign promises while ignoring others. Every December, Bilerico Project Managing Editor Alex Blaze and I get together and pick our top ten stories of 2009. Here's our picks for this year, but we've added in an honorable mention since so much happened over the past year.
Honorable Mention: ENDA Doesn't Pass
While the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) was one of Bilerico Project's top legislative goals this session, unfortunately it didn't pass in 2009.
