  7. Gender identity and bathrooms in Balto. Co.

    Tuesday night, the Baltimore County Council has a chance to send a powerful message about equality and fairness to all Marylanders when it votes on a bill to extend the county's anti-discrimination laws to cover transgender people. In the county where transgender woman Chrissy Lee Polis was savagely beaten in a McDonald's because of her gender identity, this should be a no-brainer. But it has instead become embroiled in an emotionally driven but largely irrelevant debate over access to public restrooms. Council members must resist such extraneous distractions and pass the measure without amendments that would weaken its effect.

  13. A matter of equality

    Howard County's passage of a law last week banning discrimination against transgender people marks another significant step toward full equality for all Marylanders and it sends a strong message that the county will protect its residents' rights regardless of their sexual or gender orientation. We hope advocates for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community can build on that success to extend such protections to all Maryland residents under legislation expected to be taken up when the General Assembly reconvenes in January.
