A reminder: there is a reeeeeeal quick way to stop “wasting time” in the #NELeg: pull LB574 “Let Them Grow,” the hateful bill that only impacts a small number of Nebraskans but impacts them in a huge and terrible way.
You want to talk about housing? Taxes? Education? Clean water? Simple solution - don’t spend time on the anti-trans bill. Pull it.
The question that every one of our senators has to ask themselves is: is passing anti-gender affirming care more important than any one of these other issues?
You can’t control what other people do. You can control what you do. The situation at hand is that time will be taken and these issues will be put off or you remove a bill. Which is more important?
You’re not going to change @senatormachaela’s mind or outrule her. That factor. Will. Not. Change. So I repeat: is it more important to pass an anti-gender affirming care that will hugely & negatively impact a very small # of Nebraskans or to pass literally any other legislation?
Does your hate/discomfort/ignorance/indifference for the LGBTQ+ community or your political cowardice outweigh passing a single piece of legislation that your community wants or needs?
I’ve said the same thing 5 different ways now. I’m hoping it’s clear. Senator Machaela Cavanaugh is one person who has made a decision. There are 48 others who can make decisions too. Don’t blame the matches for the fire.
