The Bill for Federal protection in the workplace for gays, lesbians,
bisexuals and transgender
passed out of Committee today !
The vote was bipartisan 15 to 7, with 4 Republicans.
...Hatch (UT), Murkowski (AK), Kirk (IL) voting in favor
The Bill is co-sponsored by Susan Collins (R-ME)
See my
earlier post today, and a
more recent article in the NY Times.
This Bill was originally introduced in the Senate in 2007.
Who can say the Senate is not a deliberative body.
