Delaware now protects the Transgender Community from Discrimination

The Delaware Senate voted 11-10, to pass a law protecting transgender people from discrimination.

Once Gov. Jack Markell will sign the Gender Identity Nondiscrimination Act into law, Delaware will become the 17th state to protect the transgender community from discrimination.

Now, a little bit about the law.

It will provide protections in employment, public accommodations, housing, contracting, and insurance. Their are more detailed pieces to this bill, such as, clear intent that the anti-discrimination protections cannot be used for “improper purpose,” and disrobing issues in companies.
