adding gender identity to Maryland's employment, housing and public accommodation anti-discrimination laws (Fairness for All Marylanders Act)
Finally, I'm going to ask you about some of the issues being discussed in Annapolis.
As you may have heard, the Maryland state legislature is considering a bill that would prohibit discrimination based on gender identity in matters of employment, housing, and public accommodation. This would mainly affect transgender individuals-people who self-identify as a gender different from their sex assigned at birth. That being said, do you [support or oppose] including gender identity in the state's anti-discrimination laws? PROBE
