"Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is stepping up to defend North Carolina's anti-LGBT House Bill 2 and teasing that his state might adopt a similar law.
HB 2 requires transgender people to use public bathrooms that do not match their gender identity. The legislation, introduced, passed, and signed into law in less than 12 hours on March 23, also rescinds all existing LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination ordinances, prohibits new ones, and bars residents from suing for discrimination in state court."
I've got a front row seat on this one. Abbott actually looks like a reasonable moderate next to his Lieutenant Governor, which is terrifying. Especially considering how Texas splits the power between the two.
Do these people even read history and see what happens to human rights denying political leaders? It never ends well.
