Description
Hundreds of members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies and some lawmakers gathered at the Indiana Statehouse Thursday morning for LGBTQ+ Statehouse Day.
Organizers of the event say it comes at a critical time, pointing to proposed legislation they say targets the rights of transgender Hoosiers.
One piece of proposed legislation would prohibit someone from changing their birth certificate to reflect the gender they identify with, something a person can do right now if you have a court order.
Another proposed bill calls for the Department of Health and BMV to identify birth certificates and driver's licenses on which someone changed their gender. The proposed bill would require those documents to be changed back to the gender that was on them originally.
It's that kind of legislation that brought out cheers of "We won't go back! We won't go back!" from hundreds who had gathered at the Statehouse Jan. 30, sending a message to Indiana lawmakers.
