Why Are Maryland's Trans Activists Celebrating The Death Of The Gender Identity Anti-Discrimination Bill?
Maryland's Gender Identity Anti-Discrimination Bill (HB 235) would have prohibited employment, housing, and credit discrimination against transgender and transsexual residents.

So why are Trans Maryland, Trans United, and other trans activists hoping it dies while Equality Maryland is asking people to pressure senators to get it out of committee? Namely because HB 235 doesn't go far enough in protecting transfolk against basic forms of public discrimination.
