Gender Identity Bill is a Legislative Priority for Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley

With the start of a new legislative session in Maryland right around the corner, this report from Sharon Brackett, Board Chair for Gender Rights Maryland, is welcome news indeed:

    Last evening I had a brief moment to chat with Governor O'Malley just after he had finished a rare and wonderful performance with his band O'Malley's March in Annapolis. I asked him about the upcoming Gender Identity legislation and he stated clearly "The gender identity bill is a legislative priority!" I could not be more encouraged to hear this.

Gov. O'Malley's statement is a natural follow-on to the powerful call to action he issued in May, 2011 in the wake of the brutal attack on Chrissy Lee Polis, a trans woman, in a McDonalds in Rosedale, Maryland.
