More and more municipalities are passing ordinances protecting us and the latest is from a city in the Berkshires.
This fall thousands and thousands of leaf peepers will be descending on the peaceful villages in the Berkshires for the foliage. But even in the scenic towns there can be some who are set in their ways. This spring a trans woman in North Adams in the Berkshires was murdered in a case of domestic violence.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City Council supports the transgender community.
But it stopped short of going on record supporting a ballot question to uphold laws prohibiting discrimination of transgender people in public places.
The City Council adopted a resolution in support of "full equality for all residents of Pittsfield including the members of Pittsfield's transgender community." What isn't written in that resolution is support for ballot Question 3, which calls to keep a law in place preventing discrimination in places such as public restrooms and locker rooms.

However, despite the concerns about whether or not the resolution was directly related to the ballot question or not, both Morandi and Mazzeo joined the rest of the council in a unanimous vote in favor of expressing "its support for full equality for all residents of Pittsfield including the members of Pittsfield's transgender community."
