Dana Beyer, an Equality Maryland board member who is transgender,
said next week's hearing will not consider the "content of this law,"
but rather "the process by which the referendum was certified."
"This court vote is not about whether we should have civil rights
in Maryland and not about whether trans people are entitled to the
same rights," she said. "This is about process and about the fairness
and reliability of the process. We believe the petitioners who filed
against the board of elections did so in a prompt and efficient and
effective manner, and we believe the Court of Appeals will agree with
us."
