LGBT leaders this week called upon Dallas Area Rapid Transit to add transgender protections to its nondiscrimination policy, adopt domestic partner benefits, implement diversity training and conduct an investigation into its involvement in a family court case last year.

Representatives from the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance, Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and Resource Center Dallas addressed DART's board of directors during its regular meeting Tuesday, Feb. 23, in response to an article in the Feb. 19 issue of Dallas Voice about the agency's decision in February 2009 to challenge a longtime employee's gender-marker change.
