27 Mar 2009
The House of Representatives rejected legislation Thursday (26 Mar 09) that would have made it illegal to discriminate against transgender people in housing or accommodation.
The 181-149 vote killed a bill (HB 415) to add New Hampshire to 13 states that include "gender identity or expression'' in their anti-discrimination laws.
Much of the debate was over the claim of opponents that this would allow transgender men and women to choose to use either gender's bathroom and potentially prey on children.
