MA Gov Deval Patrick Signs Transgender Equal Rights Bill

MA Gov Deval Patrick Signs Transgender Equal Rights Bill

An historic transgender equal rights bill was signed in Massachusetts.

Governor Deval Patrick today signed H.3810, “An Act Relative To Gender Identity,” historic legislation to legally protect transgender individuals from discrimination in housing, education, employment and credit. The new law, signed at the State House today, also provides additional civil rights and protections from hate crimes.

“No individual should face discrimination because of who they are,” said Governor Patrick. “This legislation gives Massachusetts the necessary tools to stop hate crimes against transgender people and to treat others fairly. I am proud to sign it.”
