ADF Memo Analyzes H.R. 2015, The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)

ADF has forwarded a memo to Rep. John Kline, U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor, urging rejection of ENDA. The memo begins:

The proposed Employment Non-Discrimination Act (hereinafter “ENDA”) would, if passed, add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected categories under various aspects of federal law. The bill defines “sexual orientation” as “heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality.” “Gender identity” is defined as “with or without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth” or, in other words, how someone chooses to define their own sex. ENDA relies on disproven scientific theory, and runs counter to American business, cultural, and religious interests. ENDA should be rejected.
