From Bay Windows:
MTPC faces a daunting task, changing the state’s non-discrimination law nearly two decades after the legislature passed the gay rights bill. Only four states, Rhode Island, California, New Jersey and Vermont, have passed gender identity non-discrimination bills after previously passing sexual orientation bills, and in some instances activists in those states benefited from a much stronger track record on transgender issues from their major LGBT organizations than has been the case in Massachusetts.
Oh…
But ‘incremental progress’ is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier than not passing a transphobic law in the first instance, isn’t it?
