Following the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013, many people worked through their grief, and placed the events of that day into larger context, with photography, painting, poetry and other creative endeavors.
BOSTON – Gov. Charlie Baker cut short his remarks Wednesday night at a networking event for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people after the crowd began to heckle the governor over his refusal to take a stand on the so-called "bathroom bill" that would assure transgender persons' access to public facilities such as restrooms based on their sexual identity rather than their anatomy.
"Let me make one thing clear: We should not discriminate against anyone in the commonwealth of Massachusetts," Baker said at one point during his speech, drawing cheers. But they soon turned to jeers after the governor reiterated his vow to "talk to all parties involved before I make any decisions" on the bill.
