Candidate's Comments:
I oppose 9 because I do not believe these are terms we need to be validating. Sexuality and gender have been shoved in our faces the past 20 years or more yet they’ve been afforded more rights than most. Since when is what you do in your bedroom have to be on public display and pushed upon the rest of society? If anything there should be protections for children and women. Currently there is curriculum in schools teaching gender ideology to classes as young as kindergartens. How is that allowed when teaching the Bible is banned? Men are now competing in women’s sports and that push is coming to high schools now as well. The protections for girls and women that Title IX afforded are now being stripped away because of men who can’t compete and win in their own gender saying they identify as a women so they can win. The real discrimination here seems to back to women and biblical values.
