California: Prop 8 Players Join fight to repeal Transgender Law

An effort to overturn a new law allowing transgender students to choose which school restrooms they use and whether to play boys or girls sports got a boost Friday when a major player in the passage of California's now-defunct same-sex marriage ban threw its support behind the campaign. 
The National Organization for Marriage announced it was working with another conservative group, the Capitol Resource Institute, to repeal the law at the ballot box. The marriage group provided early fundraising and organizing for the 2008 ballot initiative that outlawed same-sex marriages, known as Proposition 8. 
Opponents of the transgender student law have until Nov. 8 to gather the signatures of 504,760 registered voters needed to place a referendum on the November 2014 ballot to nullify the statute.

California last month became the first state to spell out the rights of transgender K-12 students in state law when Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB1722. The statute requires public schools to allow students to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities based on self-perception of gender instead of birth gender or transition status.

I'm glad there are a few sane people left in California. This Law has to be one of the most bizarre laws I've ever encountered in my lifetime and it needs to be repealed.
