Iowa was the 1st state to recognize that “separate but equal” is wrong. Now they’re trying to implement a bill that uses “separate but equal” to justify removing trans & gnc people from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, for which we’d again be 1st in the nation. Don’t elect Nazis, folks. #hf583
A few shots from today's protest against #HF583 aka #SF418 aka the Iowa Republican bill to end civil rights for Trans humans.
Let me be clear on where I stand: #transrightsarehumanrights. You can not erase Trans people. Kim Reynolds and her flock of jabbering fools can burn. #iowapolitics
People in favor of the bill to strip the civil rights of trans Iowans made up just 12% of those who registered to speak (20 PRO vs 147 CON), yet they were given 50% of the time to be heard.
Let’s make sure the remaining 76% are heard!

The pro-bill #HF583 speakers and protestors are probably outnumbered 50 to 1 by #lgbt people in the #iowa state capitol right now. If this issue is so important to all the supporters of the bill, then where are they? We're here defending our rights. #TransRights #hsb242
Using organized religion in support of bills that would extensively remove protections for minority groups is blasphemy in its-fucking-self. OMFG. #iowahouse #billhf583 #hf583 #equalityforiowa
#Iowa Capitol is madness today. No crowd control or crowd direction at all. No bollards, no seperation of different crowds... if there's not a crush or a scrum by lunch time, I'll be genuinely shocked. #HF583 #Transrights
