Republicans quickly kill Virginia transgender bathroom bill
Republicans quickly kill Virginia transgender bathroom bill
By The Associated Press January 19, 2017 4:50 pm
RICHMOND, Va. — A transgender bathroom bill similar to North Carolina’s has been killed by Republicans in the Virginia General Assembly.
A GOP-controlled panel quickly dispatched the legislation Thursday without debate. Both Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican leaders objected to Del. Bob Marshall’s bill, which would generally prohibit individuals from using a bathroom of the opposite sex in government-owned buildings.
Marshall, an outspoken conservative, accused fellow lawmakers of breaking their campaign promises and oaths of office.
