HB 1722 Updates
Hearing for bill coming up very soon:
The Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition is looking for Transgender people, family, friends and allies to submit letters of testimony and/or testify at the public hearing for HB 1722 "An Act Relative to Gender-Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes - This hearing will be before spring. This is our time to educate legislators on the issues of discrimination and hate crimes that affect Transgender/transsexual/crossdressing communities and those whose gender identity or expression doesn't fit the stereotypes of how men or women should look or act.

I just sent my reps a letter.  I'm sure about 3 of them will be good on this, but there's one guy I'm suspicious of being a complete dink.


Strangely enough he went to the same school at the same time as my cousin.   I never met him, though.  Just heard he leans right wrong.   He did vote against same sex marriage.   We shall see.
