Final Result

final result: The bill never left committee. We rallied; we lobbied; we wrote articles. If nothing else, we started a good dialog in the legislature as well as the straight community.

BUT, there is GOOD NEWS! There was enough noise both inside and outside of the legislature that this bill has been designated as one to be "studied" during the legislative break. This should give us a LOT of leverage next January when it is re-introduced.

The same congresswoman who sponsored it this year has pledged to sponsor it again next year - and every year thereafter until it passes.
