  ENDA as Watershed
Since ENDA is both constitutionally and culturally transgressive, a momentous convergence is present.
The activism arrayed against ENDA could be linked to reconsideration of Title VII’s premises, spinning off into massive diminishment of illegitimate federal power and renewal of self-government.
Given the calls for centrist governance in the wake of 2000’s electoral tumult, ENDA’s enactment is quite possible as a means of pacifying an insurgent Democratic Party.

 Employment Non-Discrimination Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed U.S. federal law that would prohibit discrimination against employees by their employers on the basis of sexual orientation.
Notably, U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry has expressed the opinion that it would be preferable to push for the passing of ENDA in its current form rather than passing a modified form that also protects transgender people.
In August 2004, the Human Rights Campaign – an LGBT organization that is among the primary lobbyists for the bill – announced that it would only support passage of ENDA if it included transgender protections as well.

 Enda Markey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1996, Enda returned to Dublin to appear in the Irish premiere of Follies with Lorna Luft, Dave Willetts and Millicent Martin.
Follies was followed by an acclaimed appearance in Side By Side By Sondheim, giving Enda his first starring role and making him the youngest person ever to headline a production of that show.
Enda then appeared as Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk which was immediately followed by his return to A Slice of Saturday Night in Dublin, recreating the role of Rick for a sell-out season.

 EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST GAYS & LESBIANS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
ENDA will extend civil rights coverage from characteristics that cannot be changed, such as skin color, to sexual behaviors.
ENDA would be the first federal legislation which would "...extend special favor to people based on their chosen behavior...

 Roger Clegg on Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) on National Review Online
This Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) provides, "The term 'sexual orientation' means homosexuality, bisexuality, or heterosexuality, whether such orientation is real or perceived." The legislation came within one vote of passing the full Senate when the body was Republican-controlled in 1996, so its chances of passage would appear to be pretty good this time around.
ENDA's proponents may think that discriminating against homosexuals is immoral, but many others think that what is immoral is acting as if homosexuality is no big deal.
Under ENDA, it is too bad if the employer believes that most of his other employees, or clients or customers, might prefer to work with someone who is not a homosexual, or not a heterosexual.

 Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
As the Congress considers ENDA, relevant research from the social and behavioral sciences is important to consider.
In sum, the research shows that the characterization of homosexuals as exhibiting behaviors that are a threat to children is inaccurate, therefore calling into question policy decisions based on this belief.
It is important to remember that anyone, regardless of their actual sexual orientation, may be the target of anti-gay sentiment and may experience work place discrimination simply based on their perceived sexual orientation.

 Concerned Women for America - The Employment Non-Discrimination Act
ENDA is billed as an expansion of equality, but it is really a "gay" power grab that would severely curb constitutionally guaranteed "unalienable" rights that Americans hold dear, including the freedoms of speech, religion and association.
ENDA callously disregards the fact that some sexual conduct is relevant to employment, such as in the areas of education and child care.
ENDA would initiate an inevitable assault on marriage as "discriminatory" and further weaken efforts to restore marriage to its societal primacy.

 News - ENDA: The Apex of the Homosexual Agenda - Center for Reclaiming America
ENDA is so potentially far-reaching, it has been compared to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Like ADA, ENDA uses very loose language about what constitutes discrimination against homosexuals in the workplace, and would inevitably become the motivation for frivolous lawsuits brought about by disgruntled employees.
As the TVC analysis explains, "In cases arising under ENDA, the applicant's status as a homosexual or bisexual will not be clearly known to the hiring manager.

ENDA has languished even as gay-friendly Democrats controlled at various times the House, the Senate and the White House.
And it’s the latest sign that the groups at the supposed helm of the movement for gay civil rights are out of touch with their constituents and sadly adrift when we need them the most.
What’s more, if ENDA passed without explicit protections for “gender identity and expression,” transgendered people would still in many cases be winning newfound workplace rights.

A Detroit postal worker was harassed and beaten at work because of his perceived sexual orientation and was told by a federal court that, although he had clearly suffered discrimination, "homosexuality is not an impermissible criteria (sic) on which to discriminate" under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
ENDA does not create any "special rights." It simply affords to all Americans basic employment protection from discrimination based on irrational prejudice.
Most of these laws are broader in scope than ENDA, covering discrimination not only in employment, but also in housing and public accommodations.
