After months of hard work, there was much to celebrate last night in San Antonio, Texas.

A new report released today offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the inequities facing transgender workers in the American workforce—from finding and keeping good jobs, to having equal access to job-related benefits, to obtaining adequate health insurance coverage. A Broken Bargain for Transgender Workers is a companion to the recently released report, A Broken Bargain: Discrimination, Fewer Benefits, and More Taxes for LGBT Workers.

The San Antonio City Council today passed updates to city ordinances that ban discrimination against LGBT San Antonio residents in contracting, housing, public accommodations and city employment.

Upon arriving this morning at the San Antonio City Hall to help our friends at CAUSA prepare for today's historic vote in our country's seventh most populous city, I was met by over 200 people already lining up to get inside. The excitement and anxiety is palpable!

The San Antonio Spurs are the latest to join the groundswell of support for an ordinance that would expand the city’s nondiscrimination policy to include sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and veteran status.
