Sen. Mike Braun and Rep. Jim Banks criticized the Republican governor for vetoing a bill he said contained 'no evidence' to back up its concerns.
"This unnecessary debate has set a tone with kids that being transgender means something is wrong with them. It must be said that nothing is wrong and being transgender is exactly how God created you and is exactly who you are born to be," Schmuhl said.
"The bill's proponents could not summon even a single example where someone was impacted as a result of transgender students participating in school sports, which they've done for decades across the country," Oakley said.
