San Francisco united Friday insisting pragmatism spring from principle in the national debate on extending employment non-discrimination protection to transgender people.
A day earlier, gay Democratic Congressman Barney Frank had criticized those who do not agree with Frank’s preference to remove transgenders from the new Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), thereby improving chance of ENDA passage, maintained Frank.
Pragmatism will improve protection for millions of Americans while only hundreds of thousands of American would remain yet unprotected, Frank explained.
And on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reported the ENDA draft not covering transgender people will advance for Congressional consideration this week.
