We are all, or none

By Mel Green | Published: Thu, 4 June 2009
Anchorage pollster Ivan Moore suggests the Anchorage Assembly remove "gender identity" and "gender expression" from coverage under the proposed equal rights ordinance -- in order to get the rigid right to agree. Sorry. I won't throw my trans sisters & brothers under the bus. And I'm not alone.
