While existing California law had long been interpreted to protect trans citizens, the law has now been amended to provide explicit protections.

That's fantastic! I wish we could get something like that passed here in Oklahoma, but we're notoriously behind on these things. Let's hope California continues to lead by example.
Any update on these protections?
And yes, bravo to California. For a state beset by many problems, from budget to traffic, the state keep its eye on the prize: a progressive society.
From embracing diversity to protecting the environment, bravo to the Golden State

Thats amazing! The whole country should be taking a step into non discrimnation. I say America needs a smack of reality...we will call it the face-lift of 2012.
This amazing! Come on Florida catch up in this race of nondiscrimination! America desperatly needs to catch up if were continuing to be a mixing pot of cultures, otherwise were just hypocrites :/
Now Florida's turn! Congrats Cali!!
