York's LGBT lobby, made no endorsement in the race, despite the fact

Nondiscrimination Act (GENDA), which would give basic civil rights
protections to the transgender community, and the Dignity for All
Students Act (DASA), a public school anti-bullying bill that would
provide protections based on a number of criteria, including sexual
orientation and gender identity and expression.
