Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, has sought to end the controversy surrounding new legislation protecting LGBT people from discrimination.

A version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act excluding trans people is set to move forward next week, a compromise that has angered many gay rights organisations.

The largest LGBT advocacy group in the US, the Human Rights Campaign, has worked with Speaker Pelosi to craft a possible solution to the controversy surrounding ENDA.
