Mothers and fathers of transgender children join together to demand equality.

Parents of transgender people came together at the Massachusetts State House on Tuesday, April 27 to show their support for the Transgender Civil Rights Bill along with state representatives and members of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC).

"It is a great source of frustration to my wife and I that the Legislature has moved so slowly in providing protections in the realm of gender equality," said Dave Hardy, a retired Boston Public Schools teacher and father of three sons, one of whom is transgender.
