Happy National Coming Out Day.QueerToday.com officially supports a United ENDA, and has signed the United ENDA document at http://www.unitedenda.org. There are now over 282 LGBT organizations and allied groups including labor unions and others representing over 2 million people in support of one ENDA.
HRC is not signing the document because while they are supporting a united ENDA, they refuse to encourage legislators not to vote for the version of ENDA that does not include gender identity and expression. MassEquality is not signing the document because their "mission is too narrow" at this time.
As a member group of United ENDA we will do everything we can to support the effort to pass one, unified version of ENDA. Most importantly, we will continue to do everything we can to educate the LGBT community and our allies about what gender identity and expression means, and why it is important for all of us to be protected from discrimination based on our gender identity or expression.
Please call (Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121) your representative today and ask them to only support the original ENDA: H.R. 2015. It only takes two minutes.
