Watch: West Virginia Senate Majority Leader Gives Tearful Testimony for Nondiscrimination

space

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch Carmichael delivered a tearful floor speech in support of a “civil rights amendment” to an anti-LGBTQ religious exemption bill, #HB4012, to prevent the bill from being used to discriminate. The amendment passed, and on Wednesday, March 2nd, the entire bill was killed in a 27-7 vote.

Congratulations to Federation member Fairness West Virginia and our partners at Freedom for All Americans for your hard work to defeat this bill!
