The House Labor Committee is looking at a bill which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to protected classes under the civil rights laws.

About damn time. It passed in the house in 2007, but wilted under a Bush veto threat.

The cynic in me wonders how Obama’s people are going to try to knife it this time around, because they have gone out of their way to knife the LGBT community on almost every other level, because they found morality inconvenient in their quest for bipartisanship.
