When Missouri lawmakers seek to ban drag with bills like SB 295, they do not cite STL or KC's Pridefests, but Rolla, Columbia, and Warrensburg's events. This thread will illustrate that lawmaker's objections to drag is rooted in proximity and content. #moleg 1/x

First, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey files suit against Starbucks saying they were, "more female, less white" and now Hooters is going bankrupt. Mission Accomplished Republicans. www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/ho...

An excellent story covered by @anneliseh.bsky.social regarding the SB 295, drag ban bill hearing this morning. A much more fair and even-handed coverage than I could muster on this issue close to my heart. #moleg #dragban #missouri

State Senator Nick Schroer just conducted hearing for SB 295. Bill's sponsor Rick Brattin admitted he did not know what term "Go-Go dancer" meant that he was seeking to criminalize. Nonetheless, no clarification from Brattin, Schroer just badgered witnesses instead #Moleg

Just an absolutely amazing floor discussion in the Missouri Senate now. From Mo's selective approach to child safety regulations in sports and elsewhere, sportsmanship, and the cruel history of Mormon oppression in Missouri. Our Missouri Senate Democrats are true heroes. #moleg

Thank you for covering this important story, @anneliseh.bsky.social and boosting it @jasonhancock.bsky.social . The hearings began a bit after 4:30pm and stretched late into the night.

EMBARRASSING | Missouri Republicans are AGAIN squandering precious legislative time on a creepy obsession with the genitals of Missouri children. House Democrats are focused on REAL solutions to make life in Missouri easier, safer, more affordable and freer. This nonsense does NONE of that. #moleg

Mo House Emerging Issues committee chairman Brad Christ takes the strange position that he, and the Republicans are so very generous to the Democrats by allowing over 7 hours of testimony. Funny, I thought he was conducting the people of Missouri's business in the dead of night, not his own. #moleg

I try to give the benefit of the doubt with imprecise use of medical terminology, "atypical" vs "abnormal" But the church has had a long history of equating naturally occurring deviations like left-handedness with abnormality, sin, even the devil. I'm glad a later witness clarified #moleg

One of the most powerful testimonies. The bill's sponsors cite regret rates as their motivation for them, but couldn't cite stats, higher or lower than other medical procedures. Regretful detransitioners also absent from support witnesses. #moleg

I'll never forget getting an email from a grandmother asking me if it was safe for her transgender grandchild to come to St. Louis for a concert. Anti-trans legislation at the state level in Missouri made her scared for her baby's safety. I oppose these bills #moleg

Today, the Missouri House Emerging Issues committee will hear 8 anti-transgender bills. SAFE act sunset removal, sports bans, and drivers license gender marker bills. These are cruel and discriminatory bills. #moleg
