42. HB-2 was just the most blatant

Thu May 19, 2016, 02:19 AM

May 2016

It started in January when the GOP quietly sent out a resolution to their minions directing them to create as many anti-trans laws as they could at the state and local levels. They *intentionally* manufactured this into what they hoped would be their campaign fear/hate-topic for the 2016 elections. Because in some crowds attacking trans children, well, that's good fundraising...apparently.
