A gay Democratic lawmaker in Missouri challenged a Republican representative over their state's transgender athlete bill.
Ian Mackey, 35, slammed Chuck Basye, 63, for supporting the Save Women's Sports bill - a transgender athlete bill that would remove trans-female athletes from women's sports.
**SNIP**
Mackey used Basye's family history to make a point that he, personally, used to fear 'nice people' like Basye, 'who took me to ball games, who told me how smart I was, and then went to ballot voted for crap like this.'
'Gentlemen, I'm not afraid of you anymore,' he said on Thursday night. 'I couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to move to a part of our state that would reject this stuff in a minute. I couldn't wait, and thank god, I made it.
'And I think every day of the kids that are still there, who haven't made it out, who haven't escaped from this kind of bigotry.'
**SNIP**
'During the three-hour debate the radical democrats attacked my character and made many slanderous accusations! I was called a Nazi, misogynist, a supporter of sexual assault and abuse, and I was aligned with North Korea, Russia and Iran!'
Despite the onslaught of reported name-calling, Basye said he didn't lose any sleep over it, writing: 'It didn’t phase me at all, I went home afterwards, enjoyed a delicious glass of Maker’s 46 Bourbon, then laid down and slept like a baby!!'
