The Senate will hold a procedural vote Monday on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a gay and bisexual rights bill that also aims to protect people from workplace discrimination when transitioning from one gender to another.
The bill from Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) would make it illegal for companies, associations and government employers at all levels to use sexual orientation and gender identity as a basis for hiring and firing decisions, or to use these factors to discriminate against employees or applicants
But the bill goes further than that by including language meant to protect people from discrimination when in "gender transition." The bill gets at the idea of gender transition in Section 8, which deals with workplace dress and grooming standards.Read the rest HERE.
So if Marie my administrative assistant comes back from a vacation with a 12 O'Clock shadow...does this make it a no no to ask her if she stayed to long under a tanning bed?

The senate would much rather address the problems of a miniscule percentage of people rather than deal with the employment problems and medical woes due to Obamacare that many more people have or are facing. I'm surprised this bill isn't specifically for illegal immigrants who are having gender problems. Then it could be a concern for an even smaller minority, and they aren't even citizens as a bonus.
