GOP West Virginia Gov Signs Anti-Trans Athletes Bill

Gary Carnivele May 2, 2021

ABC News reports:

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) on Wednesday signed into law a bill that prohibits transgender female athletes from playing on women’s sports teams in public middle schools, high schools and universities.

The bill cleared the state House last month in an overwhelming 78-20 vote before passing the state Senate in a closer 18-15 vote on April 8 after its scope was expanded to cover colleges.

West Virginia is one of a number of states that have enacted restrictions on transgender athletes, including Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi, according to The Associated Press.

Read the full article. Perhaps obviously, all of these bills are the work of anti-LGBT Christian hate groups.
