Maryland Legislators Leave Trans* Citizens Afraid To Pee

As you may have heard, the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee of the Maryland Senate voted down Senate Bill 449, the "Fairness for all Marylanders Act of 2013", six votes to five on Thursday. I am deeply saddened that my own representative, Christopher Shank, was one of those who voted against it.

Reports are saying that everyone seemed to be okay with protections in employment and housing, but it was the public accommodations clause that caused the bill to die in committee.
