There has been a very unexpected development in the Maryland's HB 235 -- the gender identity bill. The following letter was sent by the House of Delegates' LGBT caucus to State Senate President Mike Miller (D-District 27):

    March 31, 2011

    Dear Mr. President,

    We respectfully request that you allow HB 235, Human Relations - Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity - Antidiscrimination to be passed out of the Rules Committee to allow for a vote in the Judicial Proceedings Committee.  This bill received a supermajority vote of support in the House and was sent to the Senate before the crossover deadline.  Please allow it to have a fair hearing in the Senate.

[Dana Lane]

Ms. Sandeen is pushing for a discriminatory bill to be passed that would set a bad precedent for other states. Public accommodations should be included.
