How about the stupid?

There is currently no federal law protecting the employment rights of the LGBT community. The Human Rights Campaign highlights that 29 states have no laws protecting against employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and 33 states have no job protections for transgender people.

"As a result, LGBT people face serious discrimination in employment, including being fired, being denied a promotion and experiencing harassment on the job," according to the group.
Recent polling from the Americans for Workplace Opportunity found the overwhelming majority of Americans support a federal law preventing workplace discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation.

The legislation provides exceptions for religious groups and the military.

Actually it's about not being fired for being gay, but since Trannys are your favorite obsession, we'll let you rant in here all by yourself.

ENDA (the Employment Non Discrimination Act) is a piece of legislation the Democrats have proposed during every Congress since 1994 (except the 109th Congress when Republicans controlled the House, Senate and White House 2005-2007).

For the last 19-20 years the Democrats have proposed the legislation to protect LGB ("T" was added in the 110th Congress) employment rights ... But have done little to see that it ever gets passed.
The 11 times this legislation has been through Congress … It was passed in the House once (235-184 in the 110th Congress) … Failed in the Senate 3 times … And died in committee before it was ever voted on the other times.

It is just legislation they trot out every two years (twice during the 107th Congress) and prop up like money on a stump at a circus sideshow … In attempts to please one of their many individual voter blocks.

From the OP's linked article:

The legislation almost passed Congress in 1996, and has not been voted on in the Senate since.

Don't worry, there still will be plenty of chances for you to pull a Larry Craig with your "wide stance" in the bathroom.

From the article:

The bill is unlikely to gain much traction in the Republican controlled House, but could provide Democrats with another opportunity to paint the GOP as out of step with most Americans by obstructing a bill aimed at ending workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

This supposes that the majority is interested in an expansion of gay rights and having such a protected class. Racial quotas worked out so well, democrats might want to do it again with gays.

It wasn't voted on during 2002 and 2007 ... Thus it failed.

It died in the Senate in 2002 and in 2007 ... And as I said died in Committee (either House or Senate the other years) ... And I don't give a damn what the OP's article said, as I will go with the Congressional record.
Now if you have something to add or debate that hasn't already been discussed ... Feel free to assist us in your interpretation of the events surround this legislation.

Yes indeed how someone stands while they are taking a piss is certainly an indication of their sexual orientation.

That is kind of the leaning I was getting from the legal discussion around the matter.
It seems as though the legislation has difficulty establishing the LBG (and now T) community as what is considered a "suspect class" in the view of the courts, and regarding employment status.

Much like the impressions the current Justice Department has towards whites and their applicability to certain provisions of Hate Crime legislation.
I guess all we can say to the LGBT community is ... "Welcome Aboard to the ranks of second class citizens".
