Dear Speaker Boehner,
When asked about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), you responded, "I haven't seen the bill, I haven't thought much about it." The bill was introduced to Congress in 1994. By 2013, you, the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, should have given it some thought.
A staggering amount of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people experience workplace discrimination and harassment. If a worker is fired, mistreated, demoted, or passed up for a promotion because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, they have no federal protection to fall back on.
The LGBT community is still highly vulnerable to workplace discrimination because Congress has failed to enact ENDA
for nearly 20 years.

Don't wait another year to protect gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual people from workplace discrimination!
Sincerely,
