This year “An Act Relative to Gender-Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes” will be reintroduced in the state legislature: People in Massachusetts people can be fired, refused work, denied housing, education or credit simply because of bias against their gender identity or gender expression. This bill would outlaw such discrimination and add protections against violence and harassment.
