Beyond ENDA, Capitol Hill and the 110th Congress: Current Issues for Practitioners in LGBT/HIV Employment Law

Beyond the political debate in our community over an inclusive ENDA, an interesting legal debate arose concerning what a non-inclusive ENDA means to the whole LGBT community. This workshop will address that and other breaking employment issues, including those related to HIV. As the scope of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been narrowed by court decisions, proving HIV discrimination in the employment context has become more difficult. Some of the major challenges in those cases and the impact if Congress passes the pending ADA Restoration Act will be discussed.
