there is currently no federal law stopping gay discrimination for hiring, firing and services
why oh why, do you feel the need to lie?
What ENDA Does
• Extends federal employment discrimination protections currently provided based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age and disability to sexual orientation and gender identity. Thus, ENDA extends fair employment practices -- not special rights -- to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
• Prohibits employers, employment agencies, and labor unions from using an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity as the basis for employment decisions, such as hiring, firing, promotion, or compensation.
