Tom Quirk
The Baltimore County proposal, spurred by the Chrissy Polis assault, will look similar to a bill passed by the Howard County Council in December.
Councilman Tom Quirk said Monday he will introduce a gender identity anti-discrimination bill in the Baltimore County Council later this month.
The bill will be similar to a law passed last month by the Howard County Council, Quirk said. Proponents of the law say it was spurred by a highly- publicized attack on Chrissy Polis, a transgendered Rosedale woman, last year.
Quirk, a freshman Democrat from Catonsville, said the primary aim of the bill is to protect transgendered workers from discrimination and firing because of their sexual identity.

A Baltimore County councilman plans to introduce a measure next week to prohibit discrimination against transgender people.
Tom Quirk, a Catonsville Democrat, said the bill would add both gender identity and sexual orientation to the county's existing anti-discrimination laws. He plans to introduce it at the council meeting scheduled for Jan. 17.
