Martha Coakley Has Moved to Left on "Transgender Rights"

Is it possible that anyone as radical as Martha Coakley could have moved to the left recently? We have found one example of this...

A few years back, Coakley didn't see the need for the "Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes Bill" (H1728, formerly H1722) now pending in the Massachusetts legislature.  (See our detailed study of the bill here.) By 2008, she decided to testify in its favor. Since the national GLBT lobby was then starting a huge push on the transgender issue, she apparently decided she had to join them publicly to continue to get their financial support.

Of course she was not running for the Senate then.

When she was running for Senate.

But I'm sure it has nothing to do with running for the Senate.
