Transphobic Bathroom Bill Dies in Washington State

Washington's state Senate has killed a transphobic bill — but only by a hair.

"Legislators voted 25-24 to defeat SB 6443. The bill would have repealed a new rule issued by the state's Human Rights Commission that allows transgender people to use public restrooms that correspond with their gender identity."

Scary that it nearly passed. Wonder if it's ignorance, or pure naked hate.

Some of each, I think, with a hefty dollop of fear thrown in.

Washington State is hard to figure....Sure the bathroom issues never seem to flush.....sorry about that. However I was able to legally marry my husband before the gender correction surgery in the 1990, simply because of my ID.
