In a press conference with Gov. Greg Abbott and newly-elected Speaker of the House Dennis Bonnen, Lt. Gov.

Still, in the absence of legislation addressing this issue, local jurisdictions can still impose this trans-insanity on the public.

It needs to be addressed by law.

When the homofascists push their bathroom bills to require all businesses to allow men in the women’s room(dressing,locker,shower,toilet) is “isn’t” controversial.

The press is biased day one.

“Many critics of the bathroom bill said it unfairly discriminated against transgender people, preventing them from using the bathroom of the gender they identify as.”

What about the discrimination the vast majority of females feel when they are not allowed to identify with their right to privacy?

So what's the problem with a bill that does that?

"...newly-elected Speaker of the House Dennis Bonnen..."

Anyone got a read on this guy? Someone yesterday said he's as big a RINO as Straus was.

Turn everything into ONE bathroom only-—which ONLY ONE person can use at a time-—sort of like an upscale Porta Pottie.
