Massachusetts Gov. Would Sign Transgender-friendly Bathroom Bill

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said Tuesday that he would sign a bill guaranteeing transgender people access to the public bathrooms of their choice if it reaches his desk, bucking conservatives amid a growing national fight over transgender bathroom access.

"We’ve certainly listened to a variety of points of view from many sides and have said, from the beginning, that we don’t want people to be discriminated against,” Baker, a Republican, told The Boston Globe.
