Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lopez, and more stars are lending their support to the father of a transgender daughter who gave an emotional testimony to the Missouri House of Representatives. Brandon Boulware begged state lawmakers to stop discriminating against trans youth with a controversial bill.
HJR 53 would ban transgender children from getting gender reassignment treatments or playing sports on teams that match their genders.
If passed, the bill would be written into the Missouri state constitution. It states that sports teams at public schools must be determined by “biological sex.” Transgender girls would also be banned from being on female sports teams at public schools.
