Violating Kansas Trans Toilet Ban Turns Into Statehouse Beef

We mean that headline in the stinkiest way possible . . . 

Here's the progressive summary to start . . .  

"Tuesday afternoon in Topeka, Boucher repeatedly violated Senate Bill 244 — the brazenly bigoted anti-trans law that erases the identities of those who live as their authentic selves. While she informed Capital Police of her intentions, and while Attorney General Kris Kobach’s office was appraised of these violations by journalists, nothing happened.

"That’s right, a transgender person invaded a women’s space. The crisis had come! But no armed guard stepped up to block the doorway. No lawyers from the attorney general’s office were busily drawing up charges.

"Instead, Boucher used the facilities and left."

A right-wing blog sees it this way . . . 

Boucher discovered Democrat Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly taking questions from media. Boucher entered the room and told Kelly, “I appreciate your veto of that bill.” 

Kelly had vetoed SB 244, but her action was overturned by a supermajority vote of the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Boucher also told Kelly of his intention to enter a women’s restroom three times, and the governor demonstrated she had no interest in upholding the law in question. 

“I am very sorry that you and others are being put in this situation,” Kelly responded.
