Maryland's Senate Finance Committee met to hear SB119, a bill that would establish Maryland as a sanctuary state for transgender people fleeing other states.
This is almost anti-climactic. I hope it passes, but boy do I feel like my ass has been kicked. So sick & tired of being a target. I live in GA and they're still after us.
Good for Maryland. I hope it passes. I was aware of Gov. Wes Moore’s executive order last year, but I have always felt that it’s even better to codify these types of protections into state law. Unlike Maine - which I am still very disappointed with - it seems like Maryland likely has what it takes to join the ranks of the most protective states. I hope it does do that. I’ve lived and worked in Maryland in the past, and it’s a great state.
I'm actually in Maryland and I can say it has taken me in, the state has been lovely to live in as a trans person.
I certainly hope this bill passes. Raising my eyebrows at the anti-vax quacks also showing themselves to be transphobes.
Woo let's go Maryland!! 🦀

So proud of my State. Here’s to hoping it passes swiftly into law.

hoping this passes! anyone fleeing an anti-trans state is always welcome here in Maryland <3
Looks like I may be moving to Maryland in the near future and calling it home.
As Maryland's welcome signs now say: "Leave No One Behind"
You’ve given me a reason to move to the other side of the Potomac, Erin. Thank you and for all you do!
Been in Maryland for 40+ years. It’s still got a couple rough spots, but those are dwindling. Really need this to pass

I hope I'm not too late to this party for this comment, but I hope Erin doesn't mind if I share something I created here on Substack about all this.
