GENDA is a bill that adds the category of “gender identity and expression” to the already existing New York State human rights laws. Current law makes it illegal in New York State to discriminate on the basis of age, race, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, sex and other categories in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, education and credit. This act would extend current law to ban discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression as well. Similarly, it would add gender identity and expression to these same categories already included in New York’s hate crimes law.

I first came to LICF in the summer of 2009. Pastor Shane Hibbs asked me to be Director of Fundraising. I thought that I would organize some fundraising events, and meet with Pastor Shane periodically. But then I attended a service! And now, more than two years later, I attend services regularly, and don't just think of LICF as a church for which I do fundraising....LICF is my family!!
