The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been a hot topic for the LGBT community. How do you think the US should handle it?

Honestly, I am not familiar with ENDA and think I will do a little reading before voting.

I believe that not only should they be for gender expression and sexual orientation, but for ANY form of discrimination.

Most forms of discrimination are already, in theory, protected against. These are two that historically have not been protected in the legal sense.

Well, most of the ones that society has agreed upon as unjustified. But many forms of "justified" discrimination still exist. Someone could be fired for having polyamorous relationships, being involved in BDSM, being fat, having a profile on this site, or wearing a costume their boss didn't like at an off the clock halloween party.

There are a few other groups that I'd love to add to a non-discrimination statute, but like Sir here, I'd rather simply outlaw hiring/firing/promotin g decisions from being made based on considerations unrelated to qualifications and work performance.

Exactly, I for one have had to struggle with being fired for being Wiccan, for being a woman, for the possibility that I might get pregnant, for having a husband and a lover and for just being "not sexy enough". My parents have tried to question the department of family services about whether because I'm poly they can take my kids away, the fact that I openly talk about sex here on this site has been catagorized as sexual abuse to my kids even though they have never read my reviews. We need codified laws to make this sort of crap stop...Thank gawd that in this state filing a report of abuse with DFS that is proven false can result in jail time or hefty crippling fines. You are warned at the time you make the accusation of this and it stops most of the bogus controlling behaviors of "upright citizens" protecting the innocent. *gag*
All in all even if we have enough anti discrimination laws on the books it can't hurt to add new lists of what isn't allowed as the society recognizes there is a problem.

I think a person should only be judged by how well they do their job and nothing else.I'm lucky that I work for a company that only cares about that at nothing else

Just because someone is gay/les/bi/pan etc. doesn't mean they can't work as well as a straight person. For anything to think that only makes them mentally challenged.

Not sure. I really don't know what this ENDA is Will research though.

Ok, pretty sure I have a decent idea of what it really is now. No, I think it's shit that people would be judged like that! It does not matter what your sex life or preferences are it shouldn't matter. I am pretty sure that is discrimination? Am I WRONG? I mean, I should probably read more on it, but seems very discriminative!

unfortunately with these bills it is always hard to prove any wrong doing on the employers behalf. They always have an excuse or cover up in my experience.
