UPDATE In Nevada: Two More Transgender Protection Bills reach the desk of Gov. Sandoval


    Yesterday, 2 more bills protecting Transgender peeps hit the state Nevada. The community is now waiting to see Gov. Sandoval act on them.
    The Assembly on Monday passed a bill adding transgender people to the list of groups protected from discrimination in housing or rental agreements.


    Lawmakers also passed a measure prohibiting discrimination against transgender people in public places such as restaurants. The bill makes an exception so bars can host gender-based promotions such as Ladies Night.


    All Democrats and three Republican Assemblymen voted in favor of the two bills. They now head to Gov. Brian Sandoval.


    A third bill barring employment discrimination against transgender people passed both houses and was delivered to the governor last week. 
    The Governor has until Wednesday or Thursday to sign or veto the bill. He needs to do the right thing and sign them into law.

    UPDATE Gov. Sandoval signed Bill 211 into law.
    Sandoval signed Assembly Bill 211 in a ceremony attended by transgender activists and the bill's primary sponsors, Assemblyman Paul Aizley, D-Las Vegas, and Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas.
    Under the bill, which will go into effect Oct. 1, employers cannot discriminate against people based on their gender "identity or expression," which could be opposite of the gender they had at birth. However, employers could require appropriate workplace clothing and grooming standards.
    It becomes unlawful "to fail to hire or to fire or otherwise discriminate" against transgender people. 

    Only employers with 15 or more employees would be subject to the law. Estimates are there are 25,000 transgender men and women in Nevada.

Nevada's Trans Protection Bill is on the table, Gov. Sandoval! Please sign it!


    In Nevada, The Trans Protections bill is rett to go, but the fate of that bill lies in the hands of their Gov. Brian Sandoval.
    Gender identity and expression would be protected classes in state employment protections should AB 211 pass. The bill's fate now lies with Brian Sandoval, Nevada's 47-year-old Republican governor. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sandoval aides have remained mum on what the governor will do with the bill. The state's senate has also passed legislation that would protect transgender people from discrimination in housing and public accommodation — the state assembly has not yet taken action on those bills.


    “The state legislature is blazing the trail to full equality in Nevada,” said Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese in a press release. “We urge them and Gov. Sandoval to continue to fight for what’s right and pass these important protections in employment, housing and public accommodations.”
    The Governor has to see that this is the right thing to do. I hope that other LGBT organizations in the state are putting the pressure on him to sign it into law. Our Trans family needs the support and protection.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/search/label/Nevada

Interesting Quote: Sharron Angle


    They argued against our charges wearing black on religious grounds. I cannot quote scripture as they did to justify their point but the gist of their argument was that black as a color was thoroughly evil, invoking the supernatural and especially the devil my take from dictionary definitions and not from scripture.

    So to Sharron, Black is the color of EVIL.
