Governor Deval Patrick today reiterated his support for a transgender rights bill that has become a surprise issue in the governor's race, seeking to use his rivals' opposition to the legislation to raise money for his re-election campaign.
At issue is a bill that would make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of "gender identity or expression."
Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles D. Baker on Saturday issued a flier to delegates at his party's convention saying he would veto the bill, even though it is cosponsored by his running mate, Senate Minority Leader Richard R. Tisei.
