Yesterday, the New York State Senate passed the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA).

The bill empowers the New York Commissioner of Education to establish policies and prohibiting harassment and discrimination against students based on a number of categories, including sexual orientation and gender identity.

The bill was previously passed by the Assembly, and Governor Paterson has been supportive of it.

It's a wonderful step forward. Congratulations to Sponsor Tom Duane and all the others that worked hard on this.
