LGBTQ Agenda: HRC blasts anti-trans legislation in statehouses
The Human Rights Campaign sounded the alarm about anti-transgender legislation in statehouses coast-to-coast during a recent news conference. "These bills are not designed to solve a problem," Alphonso David, a gay man who is HRC's president, said at the outset of the January 28 virtual event, which was billed as a preview of the 2021 legislative landscape. "Like the bathroom bills, they are being passed to score political points. ...
They lost on marriage, they lost on the bathroom bills and they will lose here as well." Of particular concern to David is House Bill 112 in Montana, which is advancing in the Treasure State's House of Representatives.
