#CivilRights Campaign by Mass AG for #TransRights with #EveryoneWelcome

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey's campaign #EveryoneWelcome is all about a #CiviRights bill allowing Transgender legal access to Public accommodations. This hashtag advocacy would have been unnecessary if a few Democrats had the fortitude to stand up for what was right. But the state adopted a limited #CiviRights bill in 2012 which was stripped of public accommodations protections in a move to appease those democratic lawmakers who unbelievably are opposed to equal rights for everyone.
But I digress since it's especially nice to report on transgender positive legislature now that so many of the anti-LGBT bills have failed.
But the Massachusetts bill is in serious trouble so Healey's is asking us to amplify her on social media with the #EveryoneWelcome hashtag
****************************************
Equal Rights should be for Everybody PERIOD. How Democrats can be holding back support when they hold super majorities is mind boggling.
