bOUT2: News & Views - July 20, 2009

Associate Professor of Law and Society at Ramapo College of New Jersey Dr. Jillian T. Weis discusses the Employment NonDiscrimination Act (ENDA) from a transgender woman’s perspective. A specialist on workplace protection law, a trans activist, and a founder of Facebook’s "inclusive ENDA" group, Weis provides an overview of the legal arguments for and against the new all-inclusive legislation (the original legislation omitted gender and sexual orientation) and why it is important to present a united front in support of its passage. bOUT2 is a spinoff podcast of bloomingOUT, Indiana's only out, loud, and proud radio show, a public affairs program dedicated to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer community. Each week on bOUT2 Helen Harrell and Sean Lemieux deconstruct the week's top queer news and talk with guests you didn't hear in this week's bloomingOUT.
