Rep. Scott "There Is No" Bottoms Plots Icky Gratuitous Anti-Trans Stunt

We evaluated the pros and cons of supplying any oxygen to this unpleasantness, ultimately concluding it is in the public interest for readers to be aware of a press conference being held today by whack-right pastor, state representative and now candidate for Governor Scott “There Is No” Bottoms, purportedly to address a budding scandal he has manufactured inside the state capitol building involving…you guessed it, the bathrooms:

Here in Colorado, as readers either know or should know, discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in public accommodations is prohibited. That means transgender individuals in Colorado have the right to use the bathroom that reflects their identity. Colorado law protecting people from discrimination based on gender identity is stronger than federal laws, which is why when Rep. Lauren Boebert joined a similar witch hunt on false rumors that a transgender member of Congress was using the “wrong bathroom,” the illegality of that obscene act of discrimination wasn’t clear. In Colorado, it is.

And Scott Bottoms doesn’t like Colorado’s plainly-written law. That’s all this is about.

That, and a run for governor based more or less entirely on what people do in the bathroom.

You might have more important issues to discuss. But at the end of the day, Scott Bottoms doesn’t.
