Has ENDA's Time Finally Come?

Submitted by Barbara on Sat, 03/27/2010 - 2:29pm

The long cold winter of health care is over. Spring is in
the air in Washington, DC, as the President and Congress are finally prepared
to seed some hope into the lives of the LGBT community. 

Barbara Sehr waits in the office of US Senator Patty Murray. For some of us it can’t come soon enough.  The signs are coming together, beginning with
a demand by San Francisco activist Cleve Jones, the creator of the NAMES
Project AIDS Memorial Quilt to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the House take
up the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) debate as soon it returns from
its Spring Break on April 12. ENDA was the subject of discussion by the House
Labor and Education Committee back in November of last year. There was a
promise that it would become law before spring. Still, Congress has maintained
an attitude of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
