Time is running out for Maryland lawmakers to advance two key bills — one barring anti-transgender discrimination and another enacting marriage rights for same-sex couples.

Lawmakers have discussed in committee several bills that would benefit the state's LGBT residents and workers, but none have made it out of either chamber's committee for a floor vote. And there are less than two weeks remaining until the so-called crossover day, when House and Senate leaders must send bills they intend to pass this session to the other chamber. The session ends April 13.
