In January, Maryland lawmakers introduced a bill that would ban anti-transgender discrimination in the workplace, housing and public accommodations.

Maryland is apparently one of the 21 states and D.C. that have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation, while the nation’s capital and 16 states have passed laws that ban anti-trans discrimination. Support the Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2013 (SB499) and help move Maryland forward on the path to true equality.
You can do so by signing the petition, sending a letter to your local Maryland official, or calling said official’s office.
