Bill to Protect GLB Workers Advances Without the Transgender
Democrats on Thursday sent to the full House legislation that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gays, lesbians, and bisexuals, despite bitter complaints from some because transgender workers would not be protected under the bill.
Democratic leaders pushed forward the current bill after discovering that including transgender workers in the legislation would cause it to fail in the full House, and promised to try and get additional legislation in the future.
