Good news in nearby Massachusetts, polls are showing support for passing legislation to protect transgender people. According to the GLAD website: "A new poll shows that 76% of Massachusetts voters, including 81% of women, support passing a law prohibiting discrimination against transgender people in employment, housing, and public accommodations." This number was higher than anticipated and it's an important factor in getting a non-discrimination bill passed.
This is good news for Pennsylvanians too. Generally, the more states that pass non-discrimination bills the easier it will be to pass one in our own congress. Plus, the more studies that show people are for protecting the LGBT community from discrimination the more evidence we have on our side to help create policies that protect us all!
