Blog Stage 5 Original Editory

Most of us remember the 2017 "Bathroom Bill" that kept the transgender Texans from using public restrooms and only using them based on their birth sex. Many christian conservatives insisted that this would protect the privacy of women, by not having men in the same restroom as them. However, Many businesses such as amazon, and apple were very upset with this bill, as it caused problems with customers and is said to be "unnecessary, discriminatory, and divisive measures that would damage Texas’ reputation and create problems for our employees and their families." This statement defends the LGBT community very well. Not allowing a person to use a public restroom in restaurants, or students having to only use a nurses room to use the restroom is dehumanizing. Bringing back this bill from the dead would not be reasonable or smart for Texas to bring back, as most of the population in last two years has grown to be less conservative, and the LGBT community has grown to be stronger and has the support of many.
