"Oxford AL city council members voted 3-2 Wednesday rescinding the town's draconian law targeting transgender people. The illegal measure passed just a week before was purportedly in response to Target stores reiterating the chains inclusive transgender policy."

Finally, a little wisdom prevails.  Or as the council noticed; Actions have consequences.

Yeah, the wisdom of not getting sued by the Government. But you know what, I'll take that.

I imagine they realized that the bathroom jail thing just cannot be policed or handled with any kind of accuracy or consistency, and that a higher court would quickly over turn it. I am thinking that the Oxford city council and many people in the local community are perfectly fine with such a law and having people thrown in jail though....
