Across the country, transgender Americans face enormous hurdles -- depending on state laws, those hurdles can be insurmountable. The California state legislature is leading the way on this front, and has passed the Gender Nondiscrimination Act (AB 887), which will clarify the California law that makes discrimination against transgender people illegal.

Even in California , that is a law I would certainly support . Still, it faces an up hill battle as the voters who voted against Gay marriage will certainly vote against this too. ellen

It's a state law, not a ballot deal, so no one is going to vote for it, outside of the usual gang of idiots we refer to as the Senate and Assembly of the State of California, and they already have. Brown would have always singed that law.

You're right about it not being a voter issue, Tekla,
that is until some idiots get up a referendum to rescind the new law.
Massachusetts has had same-sex marriage since 2004.
In California the voters got involved with that one with Proposition 8.
