Moscow council nixes specific transgender protection
March 3, 2009, 9:48 am
The council voted 5-1 to keep the city’s policy as is despite several emotional pleas from Moscow residents, including the mother of a transgendered child.
Councilman Tom Lamar was the only council member who supported the change.
Transgendered people are those whose gender identity does not match their physical gender. Councilman Wayne Krauss said transgendered people already are included in the city’s current nondiscrimination policy, which provides protections based on age, race, religion and sexual orientation.
