Equality news out of Canada from yesterday:
Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the BC Liberals will table the amendment in the upcoming summer legislative session, after years of lobbying by NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert and transgender advocacy groups.
In Canada-speak, "tabling an amendment" means "bring it to the table."
As British Columbians, we must ensure everyone in B.C., especially those most likely to face discrimination, are not only protected by the law, but feel they are protected and understand that they are protected.

In all my years on this planet, I have never seen anyone do what Ted Cruz did last night.
Hi everyone. Yes, we will be live streaming The People's Convention on Saturday, July 23rd from Philly, and everyone watching can vote for each plank in our platform. Here si how to do it: go to our website for details.
A FreeState Justice has filed a lawsuit in Federal court against Talbot County on behalf of a 14-year-old Maryland transgender boy accusing an Eastern Shore school system of violating Title IX by denying him access to locker rooms consistent with his gender identity.
The boy, who was not identified in the lawsuit, will be a ninth grader at St. Michaels Middle-High School, and wants to try out for soccer in August, according to Jer Welter, FreeState Justice's deputy director and managing attorney.
During last school year, the boy used a gender neutral restroom far from the gym and his classrooms.
This has been a problem. It is stigmatizing for him. It marks him as different from the other students.

Let's take a step back and recall how Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, warned that Brexit, “could be the beginning of the destruction of not only the EU but Western political civilization in its entirety”.
The barbarian hoards are at the gates!
