Tennessee State Senator Bo Watson withdrew the Senate version of a transphobic bathroom bill following a shockingly anti-trans rant from the bill's House author, Rep. Richard Floyd. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Watson said: "I understand Rep. Floyd's passion about the issue, but we have more pressing issues before us that we need to focus our attention on and we don't need to get sidetracked."
