End Gender Discrimination in Ulster County
The Ulster County Legislature
Our community should be welcoming and safe for all people, including transgender people. While federal and state law protects people against discrimination based on sex and sexual orientation, transgender people are not protected.
A new law is being proposed in the Ulster County Legislature that mimics the state's Human Rights Law, but adds gender identity and presentation to the protections. The law would protect transgender people's access to public accommodations - establishments that provide goods and services to the general public, like restaurants, hotels, hospitals, gyms and retail stores.
Ulster County can lead New York State in rejecting hate and intolerance, showing that all are welcome in our community.

All people, regardless of gender identity, should be able to take advantage of what our community has to offer without fear of hate, violence, or intolerance. It's time to end discrimination in Ulster County.
