The day before national marriage equality was passed, New York said no to basic human rights for transgender people.

For 8 years GENDA, the Gender Employment Non-Discrimination Act, has passed the assembly without ever reaching the floor of the state senate once!

Even as counties in New York are moving forward with Transgender Anti-discrimination laws, we still have a long way to go. "TRANSGENDER PRIDE!"

Arrgh! I wrote my congresswoman about that bill. She just responded "I'm not on that committee." I double checked her voting record. She would never have voted in favor anyway!

How can I be living in an NYC bedroom community and still have to deal with reactionary politicians?

Given the season an appropriate quote from "1776"...

"They all talk very fast and very loud and no one listens to anything anyone else is saying. Consequently nothing ever gets done!"
