Washington DC, Nov 23, 2008 / 07:48 pm (CNA)- Citing what they call America's "promise of equality," the Obama administration plans to push for homosexual rights by including protections of sexual orientation, "gender identity" and "gender expression" as civil rights. His office proposes expanding hate crimes statues and the adoption rights of homosexuals while supporting full civil unions for "LGBT couples" to give them "legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples."
Well, way to step up there and take a bold stand for, well, the status quo for the most part.
I dunno, Trans folk have been left out of legal protections regularly (within the last year, I can think of the hate crimes bill and ENDA), I'm pretty happy to see him including gender identity AND expression in his proposals...
