Dear Senator Reid:
The other day, I questioned your commitment to the LGBT community on ENDA.
I could not understand why you are not a co-sponsor of ENDA, though I know you had privately assured some back at the beginning of August that you endorse it. This is a situation that many of your colleagues are in. Private support, but nothing public.
After an outpouring of comments supportive of you from our community, more information about your public position from your staff, and explanations from DC experts about the minutiae of Senate traditions, I realize that I misunderstood your unique situation as Majority Leader of the Senate.
