Sadly, not only is this my home state, I even know one of the board members being sued. I haven't talked to them on how they feel about the issue, but it would be hard for me not to resign in that situation.
This whole thing, like most LGBTQ issues, is a farce. The liberals are up to their old hat tricks in trying to give their preferred special interest group special rights and privileges above and beyond the average person in society, in the attempt to create a caste system while passing it off as 'equality'. It's really a very cherry picked view of both the word and it's constitutional application.
Let's not forget that there is no basis in science for 'transgenderism'. It is strictly psychological based on how a person feels and wants, and completely subjective. Not only do liberals want to treat it as real, but they want to then take it and force the public to adhere to it with 'equal treatment' whether it be in a business or personal or even religious setting in this case.
Not only do they fail to honor 'equal treatment' equally, in that everyone with a psychological belief of identity is given the same status, but they raise something that is not fact but a belief, above the beliefs of everyone else in society. What it amounts to is a forced morality and set of beliefs for the whole nation under justification of the law.
And of course they only look at one amendment of the constitution when considering all this, letting their flawed view of 'equality' as the only consideration, while ignoring all other amendments, particularly the 1st, because in essence their forced morality is a merging of Church and State. There is also free speech considerations, among others. That doesn't begin to cover what such a position does to the rule of law, if you can let people 'identify' as whatever they choose. It opens the door to pretty much anything, from pedophilia to racism to sexism to use your imagination.
I think we've come to the line in the sand. If we as conservatives can't stop this, then the foundation is gone. Without rule of law we are back to medieval times of aristocrats and serfs. I hope victory can be salvaged here as a precedent to be built on.
