CONCORD, N.H. —
Lawmakers in Concord are considering a bill to protect transgender people in the state's anti-discrimination laws.

Supporters of House Bill 478 said the transgender community is ignored under current state law.

"Currently right now, we do not have protections in public places and public accommodations, so we are working on that to get protections for all Granite Staters," said Jeffery Kramer of Rights & Democracy.

"People still are being discriminated against in housing and employment because they are transgender, and I think that is quite clear from the stories were have heard," said Sen. David Watters, D-Dover.
