The New Hampshire House rejected a bill Thursday to protect transgender people from discrimination after members were swayed by a "public safety" argument, reports the Concord Monitor.

Members voted 172 to 157 and mostly along party lines to kill House Bill 415. Openly gay Rep. Edward Butler introduced the legislation on January 8. It moved out of committee on March 19 with no recommendation.

The bill defines gender identity and expression and "adds it to the list of classes of people protected from discrimination" in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations.

What a bunch of cowards.  They should all be fired for being Anti-American.

I've long thought of New Hampshire as Wyoming-East, more liberal only by osmosis from Mass. and VT.

Country music? Check.
Snowmobiles and fishing? Check.
No income tax? Check.
Fireworks sold to citydwellers to the south? Check.
Whacko individualist John Birch cowboy nutjobs? That's a big red CHECK!

(In case it wasn't clear, New Hampshire and Wyoming are two of my favorite states. No, that's not sarcasm.)
