A New American Apartheid?

This week, lawmakers in South Dakota voted to enact the twenty-first century's version of "whites only" legislation, passing the first anti-transgender bathroom bill in American history. Now, there should be nationwide pressure upon that state's governor Dennis Daugaard to reject this disgraceful law, with its roots in racially segregated bathrooms and water fountains, and to resist the tide of transphobic hate that is demeaning our nation's politics and harming our most vulnerable citizens.

In an effort to bring out the base to vote, I'm sure that the GOP will float bathroom bills across the country this year in the presidential race. This is not over.
