Senate is about to pass an LGBT bill… what chance do you think it has in the Tealiban House?

Historic Gay Rights Bill Poised To Pass In Senate
Tonight, the Senate is expected to easily advance a bill prohibiting discrimination against LGBT employees in the workplace.

If passed, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) would mark a new chapter in the fight for equal rights!

But, Speaker Boehner just affirmed that he will not bring ENDA to the floor for a vote if it passes in the Senate. Let’s get 100,000 strong pressuring Boehner to end the days where LGBT Americans can be fired just because of who they love:

Automatically sign your name demanding Boehner hold a vote on ENDA after it passes the Senate >>

ENDA was introduced in the Senate almost two decades ago. So much has changed since then -- but Republicans apparently haven’t. Let’s tell Boehner it’s time for Republicans to stop defending discrimination once and for all.

Thanks,

Democratic Headquarters
