Abstract
This paper argues that the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) in the United States represents a policy window that would lend itself to the passage of a federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). Although attitudes towards lesbian, gay, and bisexual workers are changing, no comprehensive federal legislation to protect these workers currently exists. Using John Kingdon's policy analysis model, our paper considers the history and evolution of public attitude that led to the repeal of DADT. Further, how this evolution has opened a window of opportunity for the passage of a federal ENDA is also considered. Implications for workplace advocates, including considerations for policy, practice, and research, are explored. © The Author(s) 2013.
