You may recall I briefly mentioned in one of the many posts I wrote tracking the progress of the federal Bill C-389 through the Canadian House of Commons that a similar effort was underway in Ontario.

NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo introduced Bill 186 or Toby's Act for the third time since 2007 in honor of a trans parishioner and music producer named Toby Dancer at her church who committed suicide.  Toby's Act would amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to add 'gender identity' to it.
