Billie Jean King, Megan Rapinoe Press Court To Overturn Idaho Transgender Sports Law


Billie Jean King, the famed tennis player who beat Bobby Riggs in the 1973 “Battle of the Sexes,” has joined several LGBT athletes demanding that the state of Idaho be punished for the recent law requiring transgender athletes to compete in sports corresponding to their biological sex.
“Lesbian athletes, including tennis legend Billie Jean King and World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe, were among the 176 women who signed a legal brief submitted to a federal appeals court Monday calling on judges to overturn an Idaho law barring transgender girls from participating in school sports,” reports the Washington Blade.

The brief, coordinated by the LGBTQ group Lambda Legal, calls upon the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn HB 500, arguing that school athletics “provides unparalleled opportunities to forge a sense of belonging, connectedness, and contribution.”
“The benefits of sports extend to all aspects of school and throughout life. But these benefits are diminished when some athletes are excluded because of who they are,” the brief says. “Amici’s experiences in sports and in life are a testament to the value of inclusion in building powerful teams and social, societal, and business institutions.”
In a statement, Billie Jean King said that sports should be no place for discrimination.

This has nothing to do with SPORTS.
It's the Gay Mafia trying to push their agenda in our schools.
