So as with so many progressive LGBT matters here in New York, the choice to do the right thing now lies in the hands of the state Senate. Will this be the year they put this tired non-issue behind us, or will it be another instance of the Republican-controlled legislative body putting an unnecessary roadblock in front of the march towards inevitable progress (just like they did with marriage equality)? Well it's gonna be a close one, folks. So keep your fingers crossed, your hopes high, and your gender identities in line with your truths!
