Activists hope LGBT students will be protected despite lack of enumerated categories.
The House and Senate unanimously passed the Anti-Bullying Bill on April 29, creating new measures to protect Massachusetts's youth from bullying and harassment at school. Governor Deval Patrick signed the bill into law on Monday, May 3. Local activists hope that despite a lack of LGBT-specific language in the bill, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender kids will be better protected.

Always for stuff like this in improving schools for learning and putting more action into stopping things such as bullying. I have always said it is foolish to expect someone to just let it roll off their shoulders. It sets the standard that doing wrong is okay in life and everyone should just live with it. A very bad standard to set but yet some how seen as okay with the world. heh
