Poor Trentie
What have I done!
Checking out the equality score card to find out if GLBT citizens in my state are second class citizens, I got a shock (not a huge one...but still...)
I have taken you, my Trentie, from a state with a 4.0 score (out of six) to one of the three worst states in the union with a score of 0.5 Ohio is in the company of only Idaho & Mississippi...we're behind Alabama fer Buddha's sake!
How does your state fare?

(Oh, and it doesn't matter if you pick the state I actually took him from: Massachusettes or the state of his birth: Maine...both have that 4.0 score).
Sigh...
I need a laugh...here:
Thanks to Heather who had this on her Vox & it made me larf so hard...since we live it every morning...minus the bat, though I do have recurring headaches lately, hmmm.

heh...that's funny.
You might want to recheck your state's score. I found an inaccuracy with mine. It lists Florida as having no non-discrimination laws, and the state does...the Human Rights Ordinance.
It protects gay/lesbian but not transgender specifically.
Still can't adopt here, unfortunately...nor is there any civil union/marriage. Too close to the buckle of the bible bet I guess.
