0:36Now PlayingRep Marie Newman hoisted a flag representing transgender rights outside her DC office on February 24, just across the hall from the office of Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had spoken out against a transgender rights bill in Congress on Wednesday.
In a brief clip posted to her Twitter account, Newman, a Democrat from Illinois, showed herself raising the flag inside the Longworth House Office Building where both congresswomen keep their offices.
Newman is sponsoring the Equality Act, a bill prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. Greene, a Republican representing Georgia’s 14th district, spoke in opposition to the legislation, and later posted a video showing her putting up a sign outside her office that said: “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE” and “Trust The Science.”
Newman has a transgender daughter, whom Greene singled out in a separate Tweet, writing “your biological son does NOT belong in my daughters’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams.”
