The head of an ex-"gay" group says members of Congress who are seeking to extend special protections to transgender employees are endorsing behavior that is dangerous to the very people they want to protect.

The Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions subcommittee of the U.S. House held a hearing yesterday on "Discrimination Against Transgendered Americans in the Workplace." Openly homosexual House members Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) and Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) testified at the hearing in favor of extending special workplace protections to transgender people.
