Indianapolis — Indiana’s governor on Monday vetoed a bill banning transgender females from participating in girls school sports. Opponents of the transgender sports bill argued it was a bigoted response to a problem that doesn’t exist, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana saying it planned a lawsuit against what it called “hateful legislation.” Republican sponsors of the bill said it was needed to protect the integrity of female sports and opportunities for girls to gain college athletic scholarship CORRECTION*

Say, wasn't there a supposedly "Republican" Vice-President from Indiana at one time, too?

They also say CRT doesn't exist. And that that there was no HS rape in Loudon County.
Anything egregious and awful that they do to our children when we can't be there "doesn't exist."
They are telling that, as far as they're concerned, WE don't exist.

It sounds as though he didn’t like this particular bill. They should try again.

Might I point out that even Vladimir Putin knows that girls are girls and boys are boys. He gave a speech about it last month.

The only solution is open athletic competition. The ladies want EQUALITY and a level playing field. Give them one. And while banning stuff, how about "Affirmative Action" or any special "advancement" program that is based on sex, sexual preference, gender, race...whatever? Why should anyone get any special advantage in admissions to professional schools, or why should anyone be penalized? If sports is so important...

I think Mr. Holcolm just destroyed his chance to be the next Indiana Senator.

the American Civil Liberties Union is, was and always will be a Communist organization and mouthpiece for the communist party in the United States.

And the "GOP" governor of South Dakota did the same. These RINOs pretend to be Repubs until an important vote comes up, which they can then block.
Sorry, this is a "do or die" issue for politicians. If you, as a politician, cannot get behind keeping MEN from playing women's sports, you can't be trusted on ANYTHING, EVER.

These days it takes Courage to speak the TRUTH. Men cannot become a woman and a Women cannot become a man. Until our "leaders" can have courage, they will continue to destroy the Nation.

There’s a saying in indiana “don’t blame me I voted for Rainwater”. Donald Rainwater was the first libertarian I ever voted for and it was against the clown Holcolm. We’re trying to get rid of this doofus.

Without reading the bill, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a poison pill or two written in.
Although this Gov is as lame/weak as Pence was, he may be holding out for a better deal.

You don't suppose NCAA headquarters being located in Indianapolis played a part in his decision.
