Religious Leaders Pan Louisiana Transgender Ban

258 A8971 Headshot

More than 100 religious leaders in Louisiana have signed an open letter addressed to members of the state legislature expressing their opposition to what they call a “cruel” bill that would ban transgender athletes from competing on teams according to their gender identity.

“Senate Bill 156, the so‐called “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” is our legislature’s version of an Amalekite attack,” the group wrote. “The bill is full of cowardice and meanness and does nothing to make our shared society better. It is cynical and frivolous, seeking to extract political advantage by playing upon people’s prejudices and fears. Worse than its lack of utility in addressing any actual problem in Louisiana, the bill is cruel.”
