CARSON CITY – A family therapist in Las Vegas told a Senate committee on Wednesday that she has been fired twice on grounds she was a transsexual.

And Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas, testified he was also dismissed from a job for being gay.

Their testimony came before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Labor and Energy voted 4-3 in favor of a bill that would prohibit discriminatory employment practices based on gender identity or expression.
