Trans* protections pass in Baltimore council »

gaywrites:

The Baltimore County Council yesterday passed legislation protecting people from discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 

The bill passed 5 to 2 and will protect trans* people “in housing, employment, education, financing or public accommodations.” Next week the bill will go to the Senate. 

The bill comes about one year after the beating of Chrissy Polis, a transgender woman at a Rosedale McDonald’s.

“This should be a strong message to Annapolis that it is time to lead the rest of the state on this matter,” said Sharon Brackett, Board Chair for Gender Rights Maryland. “Baltimore County will now join Howard, and Montgomery County and Baltimore City as the fourth jurisdiction in Maryland supporting these rights. This is a clear sign of exciting and changing times in Maryland for advocates of civil rights,” added Brackett.

Go go go!
