ENDA is the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and if passed it would extend federal employment discrimination protections that are currently provided on race, religion, gender, national origin, age, and disability to cover both sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many people who hate and fear the LGBT Community do not want this bill to pass. They are spending big bucks and working tirelessly against it.

NYABN along with many other people and groups feels this is wrong.

We do not want to sacrifice our friends to gain some advantage for ourselves. We would prefer to fight on for another 30 years than do that.
