One of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition's (MTPC) goals for its first lobby day at the State House, held May 15, was to show Beacon Hill that there is a large constituency that supports the transgender non-discrimination and hate crimes legislation. The group succeeded beyond its expectations. About 120 people turned out for the lobby day, enough people to force MTPC to move its brief pre-lobbying training session from one of the State House meeting rooms to the larger Gardner Auditorium.
