The Maryland Senate has killed a measure that sought to extend anti-discrimination protections to transgender people.

On a vote of 27 to 20, the Senate sent a bill back to committee that would have offered protections in housing, employment and lending. With fewer than 12 hours remaining in the 90-day legislative session, the move effectively derailed the bill.

Would you rent to a hooker?? Would you rent to a known pedophile?

Things happen because government says "you must".

It's not about prejudice...it's about neighborhoods turning to crap. My hometown is a good example of it.

Fantastic! First, Maryland shoots down fake marriage, and now fake gender. I hope this is a nationwide trend. I think people are just getting nauseous over their flaunted pathologies.
