Joane Law has some heartfelt things to say about a bill that's expected to become law in Ontario this week and strengthen her human rights: "I love it. It's beautiful."

"All of a sudden it's here, after fighting for 30 years," Law said.

Bill 33 adds gender identity and gender expression to the Human Rights Code, giving transgendered and transsexual people specific protection from discrimination. It is expected to become law this week.
