Welcome to

Legislation prohibiting transgender people from using a bathroom of a gender other than what’s on their drivers license was approved by a House Committee yesterday, but it may be dead on arrival in the state senate. Senator Daren Soto says Democrats there don’t have the votes to pass legislation, but they can win by using the rules.

“We have a great ability to enforce the rules here in the Senate to stop discriminatory bills like that, that no only hurt and discriminate against our citizens, but give our state a bad name. And so we look forward to crushing that bill if it ever makes it over here.”

Yesterday’s House vote was along party lines with 9 Republicans voting yes and four Democrats saying no.”
