We've been hearing a lot about the marriage equality bill in Maryland (which was today recommitted to committee), but very much less about HB 235, which would prohibit discrimination based on gender identity in housing and employment...but not in public accommodations, which has become a bit of a sore point for some (for a little understatement).

There is a petition to add public accommodations to the bill, but I fear that boat has slipped its moorings...once it was traded away for support of the bill, a protection has rarely been brought back.
