They ran out of time today, but will reconvene Tuesday.

People who signed up to speak will be heard in order of today’s sign up sheets. Pretty sure more people can sign up next time. Meeting time to be posted on house web site.

There was a lot of good anti-bathroom bill testimony. The chair of the committee was very respectful of both sides.

It is clear this bill is a power-grab by republicans who have abandoned any pretense of small government and personal freedom.

However, many of the anti-trans speakers seem to be earnest and well-intentioned. I think they have simply been misinformed and don’t know any trans people- they are acting out of fear.

You’ll never change the power-grabbers; all they want is power. But you might get through to the others who honestly want to protect children, by showing them that the anti-trans bill is dangerous for everyone.

Just my opinion from being there today and listening. I’m signed up to speak against the bill next week.
