Hawaii, Vermont pass legislation
protecting transgender people
Hawaii and Vennont both recently passed his-
toric legislation to protect transgender people and
gender-nonconfonning people from discrimina-
tion, according to Simon Aronoff with the
National Center for Transgender Equality.
Hawaii’s second transgender-inclusive bill,
explicity prohibiting discriminatory practices in
public accommodations based on “gender identi-
ty or expression or sexual orientation, passed
into law on May 3. The bill passed into law with-
out the signature of Gov. Linda Lingle, who last
year vetoed a bill banning anti-trans discrimina-
tion in employment.
On May 5, the Vennont Legislature approved
a bill prohibiting discrimination based on a per-
son’s gender identity or expression in employ-
ment, housing and public accommodations. If
Gov. Jim Douglas allows the measure to become
law, it will make Vennont the ninth state to pass
a specifically trans-inclusive anti-discrimination
law.
Vennont’s hate crimes law already includes
protections based on gender identity and expres-
sion.

public affairs for Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund. He was previously associate
director of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project of
the American Civil Liberties Union and is a grad-
uate of Harvard College and Stanford Law
School.
Adams has received numerous awards and
honors, including being named one of the coun-
try’s 100 most influential GLBT leaders by Out
magazine.
Adams replaces Terry Kaelber as executive
director of SAGE, effective June 10.
California clergyman starts new
congregation for GLBT Catholics
A clergyman has started a new congregation
for gay and lesbian parishioners who don’t feel
welcome at traditional Masses.
The Rev. Paul Breton, a priest at St. Aelred’s
Chapel until he left several years ago for health
reasons, started holding his special Sunday Mass
at a community center.
“We’re trying to offer a ministry of affinnation
that honors personhood, lifestyle and the choices
you make as a child of God,” he said.
Priests from a variety of Catholic traditions
will travel to San Bernardino to preside over
Mass on Sunday afternoons.
Bob Watson, 70, who attended a recent serv-
ice, said his participation “carries on a tradition of
my family and the beliefs I was raised in.”
Episcopal Diocese of California picks

another churchwide showdown over the role of
gays in their denomination when delegates rejec
ted three openly gay candidates for bishop.
The diocese chose the Rev. Mark Handley
Andrus of Binningham, Ala. None of the gay
candidates received more than a handful of votes.
