Graham introduced three bills of particular interest to GLBT Washingtonians: the Parental Equality for Domestic Partners Amendment Act of 2007, the Prohibition of Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Expression Amendment Act, and the Domestic Partner Inheritance Tax Fairness Act. Graham's bills would, respectively, automatically list both registered domestic partners as parents when one gives birth; fill loopholes in regard to discrimination against transgender residents in areas such as insurance; and extend inheritance-tax protections for surviving spouses to surviving domestic partners in the D.C. tax code.
