Transgender Anti-Discrimination Law Protected
Today Maryland's highest court ruled in favor of Lambda Legal and against a referendum petition that threatened to block a transgender anti-discrimination law in Montgomery County. In order to address discrimination against transgender individuals, the Montgomery County Council unanimously passed an act in 2007 that added gender identity to the county's civil rights law.
Lambda Legal, together with Equality Maryland, represented concerned Montgomery County registered voters. We are very proud that we successfully protected this important anti-discrimination law.

This is great news (Bryan Scrafford - 9/9/2008 7:33:55 PM)
This is a great day for anyone who believes that everyone deserves an equal chance to succeed in life.
It's a No-Brainer (Matt H - 9/10/2008 7:06:17 AM)
Live and let live - anyone who can't support this simple notion is probably a very insecure, closed-minded individual and better off living in a cave. At the end of the day, who really cares what others do if it doesn't interfere with other people doing what they want to do?
There is no harm in this law to society, and in fact if some people are happy who otherwise would not be happy, we all win - I fear people who are marginalized (think Va. Tech killer).
