Legislative inaction on ENDA sanctions a most oppressive form of bigotry toward gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.
Religion-based stigma and hostility is uniquely harmful to individuals and society as the derogation is given moral and religious approval.
Religion-based bigotry has been an underpinning of DOMA, anti-gay marriage amendments, anti-gay adoption legislation and other government-sanctioned discrimination toward this minority population.
LGBT employees shouldn't have to bear this unique form of bigotry. LGBT youth and their parents shouldn't fear such workplace hostility as a potential consequence of being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
Your pen Mr. President, mightier than such bigotry, will brighten the future of LGBT youth, families and workers.
