Late last night the NY State Senate passed the the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA).

From The Advocate:

    New York state assemblymember Daniel O'Donnell, who sponsored DASA in the assembly, said in a news release, "The bill's enactment will be a major victory for the LGBT community. When fully implemented, DASA will afford all public school students an environment free of harassment and discrimination. The law will cover but is not limited to, the broadest categories of students who are the victims of bullying based on actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or sex."
