I haven’t been keeping up with trans news lately. I would like to blame my job for that but that isn’t the case; I have plenty of time, even with the new position, but I just haven’t really had the drive to do much of anything. I work for the same company that I used to but I’m in a different position. The transition from one department to another has been a bit of a pain; mostly because all of my friends now work in my old building and making new friends has always been hard for me. In any case, I wanted to share some news.
Probably one of the biggest for me is that the NY State Assembly passed GENDA. The Assembly has passed this before but it failed in the State Senate, which at the time was strongly Republican. I’m hoping that the Senate does the right thing this time and passes the bill. If you are a NY State voter, I would highly recommend contacting your State senator to show your support for this bill.
There has been a push to get New Hampshire to pass an equal rights bill that would protect the entire GLBT community. Republican leaders are holding strong and refuse to pass anything. The leader of the NH Republican party has stated that equal rights for the GLBT community and allowing gay marriage is “garbage.”
