Diane DeLap, a trans worker in the state’s Division of Workforce Development who attended today's ceremony.said to Boston.com, “It opens up to the community the fact that transgender people need to be hired and treated properly,”
There is a bill that has been percolating in the Massachusetts legislature for several years that would ban discrimination against trans people in the sate in housing, public accommodations, and private sector workplaces.
The governor supports that legislation, but it has yet to be passed and sent to Gov. Patrick's desk to sign.
Time to get busy Massachusetts letting your voices be heard on the matter. Thank you Gov. Patrick for doing the right thing for the trans citizens of Massachusetts
