LGBT civil rights have taken a step forward in communities in three states: Ohio, Maryland and Iowa.
Toledo, Ohio has become the first major city in that state to create a domestic partner registry. It will be available to same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples who cannot or chose not to marry.
In Maryland, Montgomery County has expanded its human rights ordinance to cover the transgendered. Gays and lesbians were already covered under the law.
The city of Waterloo, Iowa has become the latest municipality to add sexual orientation to the list of classes protected from discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, education, public accommodations and credit practices.
