68% Support the Employment Non Discrimination Act

congress-250x250A new poll shows more than two thirds of Americans support a bill that would offer employment protections to LGBT citizens.

SDGLN reports:

New polling by a prominent Republican pollster shows a supermajority of voters – 68%, including 56% of Republicans – support a federal law protecting gay and transgender employees from discrimination in the workplace. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on such a law – the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) – in the coming weeks. Currently, there are no state laws prohibiting an employer from firing or refusing to hire someone simply because he or she is gay or transgender in a majority of states.

But does the bill have a chance in the GOP-controlled house?
