Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, who has been criticized for not taking a stand on a transgender public accommodations bill, gave a strong indication Thursday that he would not veto the bill if it reaches him.

"I take tremendous pride in the fact that on many of these issues I've been on what I would describe as the right side of history," Baker told WGBH radio host Jim Braude, who pressed him on the issue.

Are we seeing the emergence of moderate Republicans not afraid of the religious zealot right wing? I sure hope so.(Sigh)
