The old saying is the third time's the charm, and that finally may be applicable to GENDA, the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act.

If passed, GENDA would add the category of 'gender identity and expression' to existing New York State human rights laws that protect residents against discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, education and credit.

New York would become the 14th state to have those protections if GENDA becomes law in the state. Gov. David Paterson has stated he will sign it if passed.
