One day after his inauguration, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan issued an executive order dropping the words "gender identity" from non-discrimination provisions for Medicaid.
Two pro-LGBT organizations - Equality Maryland & FreeState Legal Project - were quick to respond.
As such, Gov. Hogan has re-issued his executive order to include the words "gender identity."
From Equality Maryland:
“We are pleased that Governor Hogan re-issued the Executive Order to reflect current state law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Equality Maryland will continue to advocate for the proposed regulation prohibiting discrimination by Medicaid providers to be revived.”
