The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a bill currently before Congress that would prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in the workplace. Such protections are long overdue. No one should lose their job merely because they are gay.
My former professor, Bill Eskridge, testified in favor of the bill and reflected on his own experience of workplace discrimination.
As Eskridge indicates, in addition to being morally wrong, workplace discrimination is a waste of human talent. Though the University of Virginia denied him tenure, in part it seems because of his sexual orientation, Eskridge is now more cited in American law reviews than any professor in the history of the University of Virginia.
