The bill, the blog - take your pick. It's a free for all.
As for the proposed law, as a small business owner, I'm always leery about additional labor and discrimination laws hitting the books. But, then, I appreciate diversity personally and professionally, and know that my business would suffer if I didn't treat all of my employees fairly - they're my strongest asset by far. So, if ENDA were to be passed into law, it wouldn't affect how I conduct my business or have any effect, unless someone who wasn't hired or was fired filed a bogus suit claiming it was due to their sexual orientation.
ENDA has made its way to vote with every Congress since 1994. Doesn't look likely it's going to pass this time out either and many Republicans contend that ENDA's protections are already covered in existing anti-discrimination laws.
I'm curious as to whether others see ENDA as something that's necessary to protect the LGBT community from employment discrimination.
