Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little signed legislation Monday that made the state the first in the union to ban transgender athletes from girl’s and women’s sports and athletic events— and liberals across the nation are melting down about the “travesty“, with ACLU even vowing to see Gov. Little in court.
The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (HB 500) bans biological males who identify as female from competing on girls’ and women’s athletic teams in public K-12 schools, colleges and universities.
At the same time, Little signed into law HB 509, which bans Idahoans from changing gender on birth certificates.

Breitbart report: Supposed supporter of women’s rights Planned Parenthood condemned Little for signing the bills into law.
“We condemn Governor Little’s actions and the actions of dozens of Idaho legislators who are so focused on pleasing their bigoted base instead of doing what is right,” said Mistie Tolman, Idaho director of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii, in a statement.
Tolman added Little “discriminated against thousands of Idahoans” by preserving women’s sports for women and girls alone, and referred to Idaho as “one of the cruelest states in the country for LGBTQ people, especially transgender people.”
GLSEN, an LGBTQ activist group whose goal is to bring its ideology into public schools, tweeted the new law is an “egregious violation of the rights of Idaho’s transgender and gender non-conforming/nonbinary students”:
Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign LGBTQ activist organization, tweeted Idaho’s new law is a “travesty of justice”:
LGBTQ rights group Lambda Legal threatened to sue Little, as did the ACLU of Idaho, which said some “will not forget this decision or what it says about the governor’s priorities during a global pandemic.”
“The ACLU will see the governor in court,” the left-wing group said.
