An ebullient crowd gathered at the Massachusetts State House on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. to celebrate Gov. Deval Patrick's ceremonial signing of the Transgender Equal Rights Bill.
The bill, which was approved by the House on Nov. 15, 2011 and the Senate on Nov. 16, was signed into law by Gov. Patrick on Nov. 23. The bill legally protects transgender Massachusetts residents from discrimination in housing, employment and credit.
