H.B. 1400
Everyday across this state and country, changes are occuring. But, those changes are not occuring to the magnitude that we need them to. This country is spending billions of dollars to ensure that citizens of other countries are afforded equality. Meanwhile, in this country/state, certain segments of the population are still without legal protections. H.B. 1400 is state legislation that will provide non-discrimination protections for sexual orientation and gender identity and has been tied up in the state government committee for over a year.

While our state government votes on less important issues such as fishing licenses and motorsports tourism day, the gay and transgendered population are being left to fend for themselves. It's time for our state legislators to vote on real issues and provide those of us who are gay or transgendered the basic human rights we are entitled to as human beings! It's sad that in this day and age in this country/state, a person can be denied employment and housing simply because they are different.
