Georgia House keeps hate crimes protection as it seeks to restrict transgender sports participation

The Georgia House passed the 'Riley Gaines Act,' which prohibits transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, with a vote of 102-54.
The bill is named after Riley Gaines, a proponent of keeping biological males out of women's sports after competing against Lia Thomas.
Democratic Representative Karla Drenner described the bill as a 'dangerous, deeply discriminatory piece of legislation that goes far beyond the realm of athletics.'
The Georgia high school athletic association bans transgender students from participating in sports based on their gender identity, and 25 other states have similar laws.
