Nancy Mace Co-Sponsored a Transgender Rights Bill in 2021

Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) has taken a baffling and deeply disappointing turn in her stance on transgender rights. In 2021, she co-sponsored the Fairness for All Act, a bill seeking to protect LGBTQ+ Americans from discrimination while balancing religious liberty.

At the time, Mace tweeted:

"I strongly support LGBTQ rights. No one should be discriminated against.
Religious liberty, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist."


The bill banned discrimination based on gender identity while providing select religious exemptions. However, Mace’s recent introduction of legislation banning transgender women from accessing women’s restrooms at the Capitol marks a stark departure from those principles.

This shift may be a calculated political move in response to pressure from her right-wing base. During her 2022 primary, Mace faced harsh criticism from her opponent for her previous support of the transgender rights bill.

This continues to be a story of lost character and melting backbones. Truly sad for everyone.
