Kast, a 55-year-old lawyer and former congressman, has openly opposed marriage equality and adoption rights for same-sex couples. When in office, he consistently voted against LGBTQ rights and refers to “gender ideology”, a conspiratorial term used to negate transgender people and their rights.
Warning could change due to the latest presidential election.
Kast had a damning history of prejudice: he had railed against the ‘indoctrination’ of children through so-called ‘gender ideology’, had insisted that a transgender woman was in fact a man and years earlier, on a day when Government House had been lit up in rainbow colours, he had tweeted angry accusations that the Bachelet government had surrendered to the ‘gay dictatorship’.
The bill has several cosponsors and would target transgender people in bathrooms across the state.
