"It is almost inconceivable that the House of Representatives would treat employment discrimination based on sexual orientation different from gender identity," adds Cecilia Chung, TLC deputy director.

Increasingly, these activists are no longer fighting alone - coalitions are being built with dedicated lesbian, gay, and bisexual activists." TLC has joined the many national organizations opposing the ENDA split and urges the lawmakers in D.C. to reconsider and introduce an all-inclusive bill that is non-divisive.
