Rosedale, Maryland State Sen. Katherine A. Klausmeier is the senator for the district where this apparent beating hate crime took place. She was one of the six State Senators that was expected to vote for HB 235 on the Senate Floor, but instead voted to recommit the bill back to committee.


There's a video associated with a violent bathroom related incident at a McDonalds in Baltimore County. The violent attack appears to be a hate crime; it appears specifically to be antitransgender hate crime. It certainly argues for a "bathroom bill" of a different meme than the religious rights' "bathroom bill" meme.
