The Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007 ( ENDA ) was reintroduced in the House on April 24 after a hiatus of two years. It would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, and carries an exemption for religious groups, the military and very small businesses.

Current federal law provides legal protection against employment discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin and disability. Only 17 states protect against being fired for sexual orientation and just eight protect transgender persons.
