Discrimination Misconceptions

Zack Ford corrects the record:

A new poll from the Center for American Progress shows that 9 out of 10 voters think there is a federal law protecting LGBT people from workplace discrimination. They’re wrong. The poll found that 73 percent of voters do support such protections, including strong support from Catholics (74 percent), senior citizens (61 percent), and even people with unfavorable attitudes toward gay people (50 percent). Unfortunately, in most states the protections don’t exist, and levels of discrimination and harassment are high.

So you have a lobby group that has made passage of ENDA their top priority for twenty years running. It has overwhelming public support. And zero chance of ever making it through Congress.
