Supporters and opponents were expected to turn out in force on March 9 for a hearing on a bill before a Maryland House of Delegates committee that calls for prohibiting discrimination against transgender people in employment and housing.

Officials with the statewide LGBT group Equality Maryland said they were hopeful that the hearing before the Health and Government Operations Committee would be the first step leading to the bill's approval this year by the Maryland Legislature, marking a historic first for transgender rights.

I'm beginning to think that they should take this one. a home and a Job can do a lot for you even without the public accommodations part. One thing is that people will start to become more aware of trans people and another is that 2 out of 3 is better than 0 out of 3.

I know some will feel it is all or nothing, sometimes you do need to compromise a bit.
