El dem\u00f3crata de Oreg\u00f3n, Ron Wyden, tambi\u00e9n es uno de los patrocinadores originales.<\/p>\n<p>Si se convierte en ley, EDNA prohibir\u00eda a los empleadores, las agencias de empleo, las organizaciones laborales y los comit\u00e9s mixtos de administraci\u00f3n y trabajadores despedir, negarse a contratar o discriminar a las personas empleadas o que buscan empleo, sobre la base de su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero percibida o real. . Dichas protecciones ya existen y proh\u00edben la discriminaci\u00f3n por motivos de raza, religi\u00f3n, g\u00e9nero, origen nacional, edad y discapacidad.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy ha sido el principal patrocinador de los intentos anteriores de aprobar la legislaci\u00f3n. Pero est\u00e1 afectado por un c\u00e1ncer cerebral y le pidi\u00f3 a Merkley que dirigiera el esfuerzo. En total, 34 senadores han respaldado el proyecto de ley, pero sus perspectivas son inciertas.<\/p>\n<p>Los intentos anteriores de extender la protecci\u00f3n laboral a los homosexuales han sido bloqueados en el Congreso.<\/p>\n<p>Pero en una entrevista el mi\u00e9rcoles, Merkley dijo que se est\u00e1 generando impulso. El mes pasado, el Senado vot\u00f3 63-28 para ampliar la definici\u00f3n de delitos de odio para incluir ataques contra personas en funci\u00f3n de su orientaci\u00f3n sexual. La disposici\u00f3n del Senado es similar a una ya aprobada por la C\u00e1mara.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMientras recorr\u00ed el estado y asist\u00ed a reuniones p\u00fablicas, no escuch\u00e9 a una sola persona objetar\u201d la idea de extender las protecciones laborales a los homosexuales, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cY la gente est\u00e1 de acuerdo en que la igualdad ante la ley basada en la orientaci\u00f3n sexual y la identidad de g\u00e9nero tiene un largo camino por recorrer\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"Javascript:openWin(http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2009\/08\/merkley_moves_to_end_workplace.html');\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON &#8212; Reprising yet another battle fought as a member of the Oregon Legislature, Sen.
