The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled this week that Montgomery County's transgender anti-discrimination measure need not face public referendum and must go into effect.

The court on Tuesday reversed a decision by Circuit Court Judge Robert Greenberg, who had said that Equality Maryland missed the deadline to challenge petition signatures obtained by the conservative Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government.

It's great to have some good news! Yay Moco! BIG kudos to Equality Maryland for their hard work on this that won the day.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride
