According to the Sun-Journal, the Maine Legislature rejected a bill to prevent transgender individuals from filing complaints against schools and public institutions for restricting access to bathrooms and locker rooms.
It was thumbs down in the House, 61-81, in a late Tuesday night vote that saw 15 Republicans break with the Democratic minority. On Wednesday, the Senate voted it down 11-23.
The bill had been prompted by a highly publicized case involving an Orono elementary school student.
Oh, thank goodness that did not succeed. Maine has a crazy governor, an acquaintance was a VIP in the govt there, but got fired recently because of all the crazy philosophy taking over there. Thanks for letting us all know.
