HB230

You can find that material here and a link to the bill itself: https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=140626

One individual on social media in favor of this bill writes: “According to what I’ve read, Representative Neal knows that it’s way too late in the session for such a bill to go through, but that she wants it to start a conversation and hopefully be at the front of the line in January.

This needs to be a focal point piece of legislation for Delaware’s political leaders not only becoming sure of what they stand for but taking a very public stand in favor of the rights of ALL. 

Don’t kid yourself, there are Democrats for whom, right now, this is a bridge too far. They need to be convinced. Or primaried.

There is a need for the DE GOP to take a very public gut check. Do our Republican senators and representatives intend to argue the bill in good faith or use it for cheap campaign points on the far right? The deeper you get into Sussex the more I expect the usual suspects to start quoting white Jesus … We need to be the welcoming destination for as many of those individuals and families as possible. “
