ANTI Transgender Bill in Maryland

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-AiX1ZNs8dKiLtfPLCfezQ53tklY-?cq=1&p=104 (http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-AiX1ZNs8dKiLtfPLCfezQ53tklY-?cq=1&p=104)

    Montgomery County, Maryland recently added gender identity to the protections
    of their non-discrimination law, which bans discrimination on the basis
    of gender identity in housing, employment, public accommodations, and
    taxi and cable service.
    Since then, right wing extremists --
    ( www.notmyshower.net read what we are up against!)
    have successfully qualified a ballot measure to repeal the law. It will be
    placed before voters in November.
    This is the Nation's first anti-transgender ballot measure and will have
    national implications for trans equality everywhere and all of us!!
    As Congress is considering ENDA, the results of a trans-specific ballot-measure in their backyard
    could have far-reaching consequences. The results of this vote could open a Pandora's box of anti-trans ballot measures across the country.
    All transgenderpersons everywhere should do as much as they can--NOW!
