When Connecticut was passing the gender identity and expression laws one of the things that I liked to point out was that the law covered everyone not just trans-people.

A lesbian woman from Hawaii is suing the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, NV after a hostile confrontation in a women’s restroom in which casino personnel nearly made the woman strip to prove that she was female. According to the Courthouse News Service, Susan Ho filed suit in Clark County Court against Coast Casinos and Boyd Gaming alleging false imprisonment.
Ho was visiting Las Vegas as part of the Advanced Travel Bowling Tournament in October of 2011 when she took a break from bowling to use the women’s restroom at the Gold Coast Casino. Shortly after entering the restroom, she was accosted by another bowler. Ho explained that she was in the correct restroom.
She heard the woman discussing her with other patrons and knew then that she was about to be confronted. Upon exiting the restroom, Ho found a wall of five or six Gold Coast employees blocking people from entering the door. They accused her of being a man attempting to spy on women in the restroom.
