The Republican Governor of Indiana, Eric Holcomb, has now decided to veto a bill put forward by members of his own party which would protect female athletes from having to compete against transgendered competition.
As The Daily Caller reports:
Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb vetoed Monday a bill banning transgender females from playing on female sports teams.
The bill would have prevented transgender girls from participating on girls sports teams at public schools for grades K-12.
Had it been signed into law, the bill also would have allowed for a civil action suit to be brought against a school or institution subject to it if such an entity violated its provisions, according to the text of the bill.
…
“First, as to process, the wide-open nature of the grievance provisions in HEA 1041 that apply to all K-12 schools in Indiana makes it unclear about how consistency and fairness will be maintained for parents and students across different counties and school districts,” Holcomb wrote in a letter to Speaker of the House Todd Huston. “Student-athletes could be treated differently according to which school they attend and compete for. Frustration of students, parents and administrators will likely follow.”
Holcomb’s veto can technically be overridden by a simple majority vote from the legislature, which is set to meet and settle the matter on May 24th.
What a sicko, transgenders are not & will never be women. You people need more mental meds
Absolutely Jildo! And more folks like us have to quit supporting “main stream” media outlets and STOP voting the Democratic ticket!
You can try he’s probably transgender too and doesn’t care about women’s right to compete against their own gender
Translation: ” What I really mean is that I’m scared out of my skull that if I sign this legislation into law some bunch of liberal fairies will get their panties in a wad and say oh boo hoo to me!”
👍
I guess the old fashion black ball should be rolled out. That could mean Censoring him might be the thing to do. It’s not good when we are not all standing together as a Party when it’s for the right thing. This was for the right thing. Men in should not be participating in women’s sports against women.
I do Not Agree with This Indiana Governor in JESUS NAME. The Bible SAYS, “So GOD Created human beings in HIS Own Image. In The Image Of GOD HE Created them; MALE And FEMALE GOD CREATED THEM. ” (Genesis 1:27) I AGREE With ALMIGHTY GOD’S PERFECT , MARVELOUS ACTIONS OF CREATION, MALE AND FEMALE. I Decree And Declare IN JESUS NAME AND AUTHORITY 🔥
First over ride corrupt Holcolm’s bill. Second vote Holcolm out of office. Probably at the same time start an investigation into who paid Holcolm off to veto the bill, unless there is aother reason then investigate that. If appropriate prosecute this as swipe and give the harshes penalty possible. This is obvious bias, no matter if they turn into girls, think they are gold, or what ever should npot be allowed to be on girls sports teams period.
Well Indiana you put him in office. What are you going to do now?
Since the NCAA is based in Indianapolis, he may be afraid of them.
Well fix it its easy a transgender only swim contest or meet whatever it’s not fair to the real woman that compete
Hope the Democrats haven’t got to him as he usually does the right thing, as in this case he did not! Transgenders are a go between and if there competing they need to be what they’re born with! No excuses, your either a man or a woman ! Everyone with a little common sense knows this! Wake up Eric H. We can’t have strong Republican partys to squash corrupt Democrats if people like liz Cheney jump the fence and side with corruption! So what’s your excuse E. H. Even Mike Pence wouldn’t agree with you on this! We don’t need transgenders in sports and we don’t need them in our military!
Recall the Indiana Pro trans abuse women an girls freak Gov.
What a traitor
Will Indiana Republicans rid themselves of this RINO governor?
the women should have made a statement by refusing to participate when he swims- “boy”cott!
Throw that retard out of office.
Someone should check on Gov. Holcomb’s anatomy. He seems to have lost his round toys.
Where is Walt Disney when we need him. His death was a great loss for the company that respected God and moral values for their productions. Satan now controls these people who run Disney and it shows in all their latest productions. Shame and evil now controls what they do. Sadly our children are being cheated out of quality and real moral truth.
Well the GOP Governor, Holcomb won’t be getting my vote next election.
I think “woesome” Holcomb has played too many canasta card games with Mitt Romney. Indiana has to primary him next election.
First of all, there is no such thing as “transgender girls” or “transgender boys”; all you have are mental problems that those who cannot accept their birth sex demanding that we, the public, agree with their distorted views of their sex desires. A man cannot become a woman in that he cannot grow ovaries and reproduce any more than a woman becoming a man and growing testicles and producing sperm. It is all nothing more than a mental/emotional problem THEY have, and they demand that we, the public, call them by their desired names and sex pronounces. Sorry, but I will NEVER succumb to their demands.
Without reading the actual wording of the bill, nobody can comment intelligently on the information provided here. Too many badly worded bills have had unintended consequences.
Gov. Cox in Utah vetoed a similar bill. The veto was over ridden by the legislature just days after the veto. Where is the equity and equality for the girls?
