    HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia's justice minister tabled amendments to the province's Human Rights Act Tuesday that would clarify the rights of transgender people.
    Ross Landry told a news conference in Halifax that the changes would see gender expression and gender identity included in the law.
    "I believe our community must be a place where all Nova Scotians know they are accepted," said Landry.
    The changes would allow transgender people to file human rights complaints based on their identity in cases where they believe they have been discriminated against on the job or in the community.

    I am quite thankful that you had posted this as I had been planning on moving to Nova Scotia in a couple of years (especially if DOMA doesn't get repealed here in the states).
     
  3. Hope it works out.
     
  4. Woo! Feel proud to be Nova Scotian!
