The Problem, Policy, and Political Streams of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009: Implications for Social Work Practice

Pages 354-369 | Published online: 30 Jul 2010
 

Abstract

Protection from employment discrimination has been a long battle waged by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community and allies. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) of 2009 could provide comprehensive federal protection from employment discrimination based upon sexual orientation. In this article, John Kingdon's framework for policy analysis is used to explore the federal ENDA.
