Ontario, Canada became the first North American government\society to protect transgendered people under its Human Rights Code. This protects them from discrimination for work, housing etc. This was a private member's bill that had been proposed for some time. My understanding is that private member's bills rarely get approved and this was done with aminority government making jt even more interesting! Way to go Ontario....we are not quite going extreme radical right as some might want :)

Kudos to Ontario for stepping up to the plate to protect ALL its citizens. I wish those in South Africa could take need. Will start a thread but will drop this link here as well. When will it stop? http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Gay-pageant-winner-beheaded-20120613
