A vote of 3-2 added nondiscrimination protections for transgender workers in Dallas County Tuesday.
The order adds “transgender, gender identity, and gender expression” to the county’s existing laws against workplace discrimination, which currently provide protections against discrimination on the basis of religion, color, race, national origin, sex, age, disability, and political affiliation.
Calling the decision a “historic moment” for Dallas County, commissioner Elba Garcia said the vote was “about equality and justice for everybody.”
