Boston – A bill supporters say will protect transgender people from hiring and housing discrimination, but derided by opponents as an invitation for men to use women’s bathrooms, will again be held in committee for at least another month, a state senator said Thursday.

The bill, currently due for a committee report Friday, will instead undergo review until at least early June, Sen. Cynthia Creem (D-Newton) told the News Service after a Thursday Senate session.
