Transgender advocates and allies across America gathered Tuesday on Capitol Hill in support of ENDA while opponents of Health Care Reform sounded an entirely different alarm. Both may see action as early as Sunday.

The ENDA support coalition was organized by the National Center for Transgender Equality, NCTE, as part of its National Policy Forum, "Moving Forward Together." More than 100 Congressional offices were lobbied to support a gender-identity inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

Workplace protections for sexual orientation and gender identity have been aruged and denied since first proposed in 1994.
