Rookie Dems move to kill Baldwin’s transgender amendment
Washington, D.C. – The Employment Non-Discrimination Act is on hold, probably until just before the Thanksgiving recess, after a move by the 30 Democratic House freshmen to jettison Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s amendment to add transgender people to the bill.
The development is the latest in the month-long saga that has exposed the weakness of the new Democratic House majority, split the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community into two sparring camps, and put the Human Rights Campaign in an untenable position.
