Does the place where you live have anti-gay discrimination laws? I'm mostly interested in the antigay discrimnation as it pertains to employment. Crossdressors are mostly labeled gay so they certainly do face discrimination in employment. State what city or state you live in and what the laws are.
I live in Chicago, IL. There is now a statewide law banning discrimination against gays in employment. Just passed this spring 2005. Came too late for my career though.
