On Wednesday, legislation to ban discrimination against transgender people in Massachusetts was introduced with 104 original co-sponsors, including majorities in the Senate and House.
The legislation has more original co-sponsors than any other bill introduced this session of the legislature.
An Act Relative to Gender Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes adds gender identity and expression to non-discrimination laws covering employment, housing, credit, and public accommodations, as well as to hate crimes statutes.
We are one step closer to passing this critical legislation. But there is still work to be done.
If your legislator signed on to co-sponsor the bill please call and thank them for their support of equality, the list can be seen here.
