Courtesy Joe.My.God comes the above graphic depicting the geographic distribution of support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, H.R. 3017/ S. 1584, in the United States Senate as of 4/29/2010. Dr. Jillian Weiss has also posted a Google docs spreadsheet which shows the position of all members of the Senate on this LGBT civil rights bill. Her spreadsheet shows 51 definite votes in the Senate, which along with roughly 203 sponsors in the U.S. House indicates we are very close to getting this done this year.Of course, President Obama has promised to sign the bill.
Both of my NY senators have said that they are in favor of ENDA, but neither has taken significant action to get it passed. If ENDA doesn't pass this year, I will love voting Green against both of them. I'm tired of being betrayed by so called "Democrats."
