A New York State trial judge has rejected a challenge to a New York City law banning gender identity discrimination in places of public accomodation.

In a decision released Friday, Judge Kenneth Sherman said that the City Transit Authority–or TA–could NOT move forward with its claim that the city's Human Rights Law violated the First Amendment rights of one of its employees. But Sherman DID say that the city could step in to defend the anti-bias law's constitutionality, which the TA also questioned. That law added provisions prohibiting transgender discrimination in 2003.
