(Washington) Some of the nation’s largest civil rights groups, including the Human Rights Campaign, said Tuesday that Congress should pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act even if it does not include protections for trans-workers.

The decision has divided the LGBT community and angered a large number of rights groups.

The act, known as ENDA, was to have come to a vote on Tuesday but was pushed off the agenda at the last minute. The vote now is expected either Wednesday or Thursday.
