I am glad they failed, but Jesus Christ. There were still 27 elected officials, about a quarter of that legislative body, who thought children should be separated from their parents because they're transgender. What the fuck?
I'm surprised you're surprised.
It's not that I'm surprised, but mainly saying that this isn't the feel-good story of bipartisanship taking down a bad idea that the headline leads you to think. There's still a significant (if not majority) in favor of this
I hope this is indicative of maybe not every republican wants me dead
This is also indicative that sometimes we can successfully pressure them to change their votes
We can win this fight
This is good news!
But the constant barrage:
the part-time legislature has spent more than half of its days this session pushing such bills through committees and the house floor, with Republicans largely voting in lockstep
..is by design.
It's nice to see that there are some lines even republicans are not yet willing to cross.
Kinda wish i had chosen zooeyzephyr as my lemmy name.
Not today
I wonder who will regret this more?
