"Protection of Transgender State Employees" was written on Febuary 17th. In this article it explains how Governor Deval Patrick signed an Executive Order which probibits discrimination based on gender identity and expression in state employment. Its also a way to try and prevent hate crimes towards gays, bisexuals, lesbians and transgender people. This Executive Order applies to all state agencies in the Executive Branch. I choose this articel because its interesting and also a current event. It shows the progression that the United States is making.
What I learned from this article was the whole United States isnt going to become "pro gay" over night. It takes small steps and fearless people to make things happen and this was a perfect example of what it takes to eventually have equality for everyone.
