Members of GetEQUAL, One Struggle One Fight, and Pride at Work disrupted a debate Wednesday night in California between Rep. George Miller and his Republican opponent Rick Tubbs to demand action on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
According to Karen Ocamb at LGBT POV, "The protesters walked to the front of the debate area holding a sign reading: 'Employment Non Discrimination Act Now.'
