SOUTH CAROLINA: Haters Sing “Yes Jesus Loves Me” To Silence Transgender Rights Supporter [VIDEO]

But there’s a happy ending (for now) below. From Myrtle Beach Online:

More than 500 people gathered to protest and support Horry County Schools policy on transgender student bathroom use, and while the board was in executive session a conflict broke out between a policy supporter and protestors. The group occasionally broke out in song to silence the woman who questioned why transgender students cannot have the same rights as non-transgender students.

Yesterday in the same town:

Nearly 1,000 people came from all over the county to pray outside the Horry County Schools District Office Sunday afternoon. Leaders from 10 churches around the area organized the meeting, and several of them were on hand to lead the faithful in prayers for both the safety of their children and the wisdom of their Board members. The meeting comes after district officials announced a special-called School Board meeting to take place Monday. The School Board called the meeting to decide if they should continue to comply with a federal court ruling in favor of a Virginia transgender student who wished to use the bathroom of the gender he identified with.

And just two hours ago:

The board voted on a resolution to follow the law under the recent 4th Circuit Court ruling on Title IX and will explore all possible legal avenues on the issue — including filing an amicus brief in support of the Virginia school district. The School Board also said non-transgender students will be allowed to use private bathrooms in the nurse’s office of they feel uncomfortable with transgender people. Nearly all of the school board members said they didn’t support the 4th Circuit Court ruling, but they have to follow the law. They vow to fight it.

From GLAAD:

“GLAAD and our partners are prepared to lead a national boycott of Myrtle Beach should the Horry County school board take any action that would reverse the decision that has already been announced or perpetuate any further discrimination against this student or others.” – Zeke Stokes, Vice President of Programs, GLAAD.
