Should the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act be amended to include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," which would require public schools and other public facilities to open up restrooms and locker rooms to members of the opposite sex?

11. Should funding for public and state-related universities follow the student rather than go directly to the institution?	Y*	As a parent, I would like to see this happen.
