Last week, the Nevada Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor voted 4-3 on SB331, legislation that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression in places of public accommodations. The bill sponsored by Senator David Parks, was voted fully along party lines with all four Democrats on the committee voting in favor of transgender protections.

Throughout the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality, there has always been a spirit of generosity, and an extraordinary willingness to give time and energy to make this county better for all Americans. Volunteerism has been a driving force for change. This week we are proud to announce that the Human Rights Campaign will be celebrating National Volunteer Week. We want to take this opportunity to recognize and appreciate all of the phenomenal work of our volunteers in bringing about equality to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. HRC’s committed volunteers work hard to advance equality around the country. They engage diverse groups of people to take action, and develop strong partnerships to advance this critical mission.
