"EL PASO, Texas — Texas Sen. Jose Rodriguez hosted a press conference at his office Friday to kick off an educational campaign about discrimination against the transgender community. The press conference wrapped up a two-day conference that focused on LGBT issues.

"We're talking about human beings who are members of our community just like anybody else and have the right to be treated like anybody else," said Rodriguez. "This is a civil rights issue and a human rights issue. It's an issue that needs to be addressed.""
