GREENWICH VILLAGE — A law signed by Gov. David Paterson Wednesday offers new anti-bullying protections to students, specifically calling out protections for kids who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, as well as students taunted because of their weight.

Federal law currently protects students from harassment based on race, religion and national origin. With its new law, New York joins nine other states in offering specific bullying provisions for LGBT communities.

Paterson said he hoped the law would protect students from bullying similar to the same kind of that he experienced in school.
