The New York State Senate closed its session last week without taking up the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, which would have added protections for transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers in the area of employment, housing, public accommodations, and hate crimes.  The Assembly passed GENDA earlier this year, as it has done for six consecutive years, and the Governor promised to sign it if it was passed.  HRC was proud to be part of the Trans Rights Coalition fighting for GENDA in New York, alongside the Empire State Pride Agenda, Housing Works, and the NYACLU.  Thank you to all of the advocates who lent their voices to this effort.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!!!

Lucy number seven I hope!
