Title: Major Announcement Coming
Post by: Chaunte on December 14, 2009, 05:45:42 PM
Governor Patterson is expected to make a major policy announcement tomorrow, 12/15, that directly affects the transgender community here in New York State.

From what I have heard, this is one we want to listen to.

this URL (http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/breaking-ny-governor-paterson-to-announce-policy-on-transgender-rights/civil-rights/2009/12/14/5901) says the announcement is actually on Wednesday. I have to assume it's good news since the word was put out to meet up at the NY LGBT center where the announcement is being made.

You are absolutely right, Beth.  Thank you for catching it.  Sorry for the error, everyone.

I have heard 2nd hand what the announcement is.  This is one that should have us dancing in the streets - assuming what I have been told is correct.  When I read what my friend sent, the tears just started rolling down my face.  Happy tears.
