WATCH: Dallas County adds trans protections
Posted on 26 Apr 2011 at 10:18am

After listening to more than 30 minutes of public comments in favor of the proposal, the Dallas County Commissioners Court voted 3-2 along party lines Tuesday to add transgender protections to the county's employment nondiscrimination policy.

About a dozen people from the LGBT community addressed the Commissioners Court prior to the vote, which came five weeks after the court voted unanimously to add sexual orientation but not gender identity/expression to the policy covering the county's 7,000 workers.

Heaven forbid anyone today not vote along party lines.  Imagine the chaos if some politician chooses human decency over the party line.
When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.
