B.C. NDP, B.C. Greens, independents vote against bill introduced by Conservative leader John Rustad
B.C. New Democrats, B.C. Greens and two independents MLAs have rejected the introduction of a B.C. Conservative bill that would have excluded female transgender athletes from publicly funded sporting events in B.C.
B.C. NDP House Leader Ravi Kahlon later called the bill “hateful and discriminatory” and questioned Rustad’s motivation. The bill’s wording echoes legislation in several U.S. states limiting sports participation by transgender girls and women. According to the New York Times, the Human Rights Campaign advocacy group tracked more than 800 anti-LGBTQ+ laws across the U.S. last year.
