Laurel delegate's fight for transgender anti-discrimination legislation to continue in 2012 session

Laurel Del. Joseline Peña-Melnyk sponsored transgender anti-discrimination legislation in the 2011 General Assembly session, pushing the bill through the House of Delegates and all the way to the Senate floor, but her efforts weren't enough.

In the 2012 session, which starts in January, advocates are hoping to take legislation through the last hurdle it needs for passage. Though Peña-Melnyk will not be the lead sponsor of the bill, she said she will co-sponsor the House legislation.

"I'm still very supportive," she said. "I will still help tremendously."
