One of my first big stories at BuzzFeed was questioning whether Labor was enforcing EEOC's Macy ruling:http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obama-labor-department-may-be-ignoring-protections#.wra9MGEmBj …

That dispute w/ the Labor Dept over EO 11246 continued in the years that followed: '13: http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/labor-department-refuses-to-answer-questions-on-transgender#.hhLwEn6MLm … / '14:http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/obamas-labor-department-refuses-to-say-if-its-protecting-tra#.pr0ebNaoWy …

Of c, they weren't alone. LGBT groups, for the most part, also didn't want to talk about Macy — given their focus on getting an ENDA vote.
-
That, for the most part, ended after a while — and DOJ weighing in to support the Macy interpretation also moved the ball quite a bit.

So, now, w today's EEOC decision that sexual orientation discrim is covered - http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/sexual-orientation-discrimination-is-barred-by-existing-law#.hdo0XvwyPj … - the response will be interesting.
-
@chrisgeidner this still means we need an ENDA for trans people!! Please don't throw us under the bus! -
@Rememberandhope Erm. Macy, covering trans-inclusion in Title VII, preceded today's decision by more than three years.

@chrisgeidner You rock! Today is the, uh, four-week anniversary of me getting fired from my Big High Profile Media Job After Only 9.5 weeks. -
@chrisgeidner Don't get me wrong, though. I didn't like that job any more than it liked me.#GoodRiddance
