there has been a prevalent queer community in columbia for decades. as a trans* person who almost had to immediately move out of state, it can be scary. protections like this are important to minorities. queer people deserve human rights too.

queer people need safe spaces in a majority red state, especially within the legislature. queer people are humans too

Columbia thrives as the liberal hub of Missouri, it's obvious that the city has leaned towards being more welcoming than the rest of the state. Everyone should feel safe no matter what their personal preferences are. That last sentence is the reason I voted this way.

no reason for biological males to use female bathrooms, join their sports. If they want to dress and behave as a women that is their decision. To allow them into the bathroom with my grandaughter is NOT. Same for women acting like men.

I absolutely disagree with any city becoming a Sanctuary for any group. The laws take care of all the people in their community if law enforcement and judges follow the laws.

It should be left alone ! Columbia has enough crime and issues as it is . There is enough of them running around and we don't need the crime and people to spread north in the state . People should stand up for their rights and beliefs. God made you a woman you stay that way , God made U a man be 1.

If you want to feel safe, carry a semi-auto pistol with at least a 15 round magazine. Practice, train, dry-fire, every single day. I promise you'll feel safe and it'll change your life.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
