The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled this week that Montgomery County's transgender anti-discrimination measure need not face public referendum and must go into effect.
The court on Tuesday reversed a decision by Circuit Court Judge Robert Greenberg, who had said that Equality Maryland missed the deadline to challenge petition signatures obtained by the conservative Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government.
