The Congressional Equality Caucus is calling out the "outrageous" bill going to vote in the House that would forcibly out transgender students to their guardians.
Log Cabin Republicans scored a coup last week when the Republican majority in the New York State senate introduced the Safe Schools for All Students Act, which would protect kids from being bullied in public schools because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Jeff Cook, legislative adviser for Log Cabin, said it was historic to have transgender people included in what is known in Albany parlance as a "rules bill" -- a bill introduced by the majority that is automatically understood to have the assent of the majority leader. "It is the first rules bill that we know of that includes gender identity and expression in New York State," Cook said.
