A federal judge ruled late Friday that the Georgia General Assembly illegally discriminated against Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgender woman, by firing her from her job as a legislative editor when she announced her plan to transition from male to female.

Glenn could not immediately be reached for comment. Visit our website throughout the day for developments in this story.

Beth Littrell of Atlanta, staff attorney for Lambda Legal which is representing Glenn in the lawsuit, said she was "thrilled and relieved but not surprised" with the judge's ruling because it was clear those working for the General Assembly who fired Glenn broke federal law.

This decision is such good news!  I am glad to see yet another feather added to the cap that T peeps are protected under the Price-Waterhouse line of cases.
