Out as trans at the State House
by Nancy Nangeroni

I've never experienced anything weird from a politician; of course I've been talking mostly with "friendlies." More than anything else, [if transgender people come out to their lawmakers] that is what will pass [House Bill 1722, the transgender civil rights bill]. No amount of lobbying by a few leaders is going to pass this bill. Just like when President Clinton spoke at the HRC Dinner and said it's [gay people] coming out and meeting people that's important; it's the same thing with the transgender community.
