Federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Massachusetts
10/11/16 – BOSTON — (AP) A new Massachusetts law that prohibits discrimination against transgender people in public restrooms is “punishing” the protected religious speech of churches and pastors, a conservative Christian organization claims in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday.
