Great round-up this week. Interesting discrepancy in the stories being shared by EDs right now, though. I had two emails from LGBT rights orgs in my inbox tonight — one from HRC and one from the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). You quoted Joe Solmonese from HRC. Here’s what Mara Kiesling from NCTE had to say about ENDA:

“A team of us just returned from a meeting with leadership staff. I wish I had better news to report. Here’s the rundown:

They intend to move forward with a non-inclusive bill. They intend to schedule the sexual orientation-only bill for next Thursday in the House Education and Labor Committee.

While they have offered to keep HR2015 (the fully inclusive bill) on the table for consideration, it was clear to everyone at the meeting that with this proposed strategy, it would be much more difficult to have a vote on a united bill anytime soon. HR2015 is the bill we must continue to fight for.”

Perhaps I’m reading this incorrectly, but my understanding is that Mara’s commenting on the House leadership’s plans to move forward with HR 3685. In light of this (and reading Joe’s statement in full) would I be wrong to say that HRC is spinning Pelosi’s position to make it sound like the fully inclusive bill is going ahead when really it’s the non-inclusive bill that’s moving — faster, at least, than HR 2015?
