Nevada Assembly Passes Transgender Discrimination Bill

In a monumental vote for one of the state of Nevada's least-known minorities, members of the state Assembly voted 29-13 on April 18 for Assembly Bill 211, which would prevent discriminating against people based on their gender identity or expression. The bill now goes to the Senate, where supporters think they have the votes to pass the bill. Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) hasn't given an indication whether he will sign it. The bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Paul Aizley, D-Las Vegas, said transgender people testified they often are denied jobs because of how they look. There are 25,000 transgender people in Nevada.
