Leslie is joined by callers as they discuss a controversial discriminatory amendment that Republicans in Congress attached to a must pass defense bill.

David Stacy, the government affairs director for the Human Rights Campaign, explained how dangerous the amendment would be if it became law.

"This amendment would give legal grounds for an employer to prevent a gay man from having their husband added to their health insurance. Trans people could be fired from their job upon announcing their intent to transition."
