Once Again We Are Thrown Under The Bus

Sen. Kennedy has jumped on Barney Frank’s band wagon and is supporting a non-inclusive ENDA bill.

Kennedy jumps into controversy over transgender exclusion from job bias protections
Associated Press - April 2, 2008 6:03 AM ET

CAPITOL HILL (AP) - Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy is backing a bill that bans job bias against gays, lesbians and bisexuals, but not transsexuals. And that's causing some uproar among gay rights activists.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force says it will "strongly oppose" the bill.
The National Center for Transgender Equality says it doesn't want Congress to push through a civil rights bill that the organization doesn't want.….

….The bill was written by openly gay Congressman Barney Frank and approved by the House late last year.
