Senator Williams said, "It's a matter of civil rights. It's a matter of human rights."
Senator Looney said, "It's really about civil rights. It's really about discrimination. It's really about inclusion."
Sen. Cassano said, "I am going to support this bill, because I cannot support discrimination." and "It's an absolute shame that it's been called 'a bathroom bill.'"
Sen. Beth Bye said, "It always starts with workplace protections...it's always the first step in understanding."
Sen. Coleman said, "I have never seen the degree of mean spiritedness that that I have seen on this [HB 6599] civil rights bill."
Sen. Meyer calls "bathroom" issue a red herring, cites his "marvelous lifelong friend," transsexual Renee Richards.
