The Yes on 3 campaign has released its first video ad, showing a father and an adolescent who was born a female but now identifies as a boy advocating for legal protection for transgender people.
"I love my kids, and I'd do anything to protect them. For me, that includes taking care of my transgender son, Ian," the dad says in a voiceover of the 30-second ad, as he and Ian and an adult woman and an adolescent girl with long hair are shown at a breakfast table in a home.
Charlie Baker in 2010 tapped an openly gay state senator from Wakefield as his running mate, and though they lost, Baker now says that it makes him "so happy" to know that it was his fault, and not prejudice against Richard Tisei.
