An informed source is denying a recent media report saying U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pushing for a vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the lame duck session of Congress.

A gay rights activist with the connections to the speaker's office, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a blog posting in Politico on Thursday reporting that Pelosi wants a vote on ENDA before lawmakers adjourn for the year is "not true."

"The speaker brought it up during a leadership call in a list of unfinished bills, and all of the sudden, it got leaked out as she is going to bring this to a vote by the end of the year," the activist said. "Whoever did leak that took it completely out of context."

What difference would it make it if the vote now, or in a future ssession?

Erm, the members that will be voting? A vote now would be by those elected 2 years ago, whereas after January would be those elected a few days ago. That's assuming the new House will even take such a bill to a vote.

I don't see it happening though.
