A hearing was held today before the Senate Judiciary Committee.B-team.jpg The bill was voted down 12 to 11.

I listened in on a live webcast, and it was orchestrated very poorly. The first two speakers raised the issues of bathrooms and teachers. The supporters didn't really seem to know their lines.

Senator Savino responded in defense of the bill. She wasn't really clear or definitive about the objections to the bill. She said some good things, like the fact that other jurisdictions have enacted such bills without bathroom or school problems. However, her rhetorical skills were no match for the outspoken objectors. Empire State Pride Agenda has a very clearly written fact sheet on the issue. She should have taken some time to get the facts down.
