发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Senate is poised to move forward Monday with legislation that would ban
forms of workplace discrimination against gay and transgendered people.
Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) on Monday announced his support for the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), likely giving Democrats the 60 votes they
would need to break a Republican filibuster.
"After listening to Nevadans' concerns about this issue from a variety of
viewpoints and after numerous conversations with my colleagues, I feel that
supporting this legislation is the right thing to do," Heller said Monday.
"This legislation raises the federal standards to match what we have come to
expect in Nevada, which is that discrimination must not be tolerated under
any circumstance," Heller wrote.

In addition to Heller, four other Republicans are behind the bill. Sens.
Susan Collin (Maine) is a co-sponsor, and three other GOP senators — Sens.
Orrin Hatch (Utah), Mark Kirk (Ill.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — voted
for it on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee. | L*********s

说说这个新法比1996年的反歧视法有什么进一步规定？
据说诉讼律师对此都翘首以待。
