News Items for the Week

Just a couple of handy tidbits of information that task force members have come across recently:

  • It seems like the major sports leagues are getting in on all of the non-discrimination fun. The National Basketball Association added sexual orientation to their collective bargaining agreement, following in the footsteps of the Major League Baseball. Go team!
  • The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists released a committee opinion this month on the health care of transgender individuals. The Committee on Health Care for Underserved Women stated that the ACOG “opposes discrimination on the basis of gender identity and urges public and private health insurance plans to cover the treatment of gender identity disorder.” Nice work, Committee.

Thanks to Patrick and Cindy for the links!
