Zack Ford writes for ThinkProgress: “Last month, the City Council of Phoenix, Arizona passed sweeping nondiscrimination protections, ensuring that people have equal access to employment, housing, and public accommodations regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. One state lawmaker, Rep. John Kavanagh (R) is not pleased that transgender people will be protected to use the correct bathroom, and so he has introduced a new bill to ban them from doing just that.”
