After removing a one-word amendment that would have gutted the measure, DART's Board of Directors voted uanimously Tuesday night to add transgender protections to the agency's employment nondiscrimination policy.
About 50 people from the LGBT community packed the DART meeting, with roughly 10 of them addressing the board during a public comment period. They called on board members to approve the policy after first removing the word "except," which was inserted by the board last week.
