Is Massachusetts the first place to explicitly protect people from discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression?
No. Nationwide, 13 states, Washington D.C., and 132 counties and cities have passed non-discrimination laws on this basis, including the cities of Boston and Cambridge and the towns of Northampton and Amherst. Approximately 155 employers based or operating in Massachusetts have already adopted non-discrimination policies that include gender identity.
