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

Queer people should not be recruiting children or trying to take over women's sports. Gender dysphoria is a mental disease. It should be treated not encouraged by politically correct adults jumping on the bandwagon.

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.

MU Socialists - ROFLMAO@Y. The socialists are just asking for the laws they do not like not be to be enforced. That is wrong. This is just another example of socialists trying to destroy western culture. No child should be mutilated. Girls sports for real girls only. Don't like it? Move. FJB

Libs really want 30 hours of sick time for 1 hour work called Univ Basic Income. This is a great example of an organic Missouri effort to change our Constitution, you can tell by the homemade signs. NOT, another dark money effort to buy an amendment when they fail in legislature. End this BS. FJB

Paid leave is good for families and employers--it helps attract and retain the best talent, reducing employee turnover costs, and helps alleviate financial strain on families. It's a win-win.

Paid sick leave is needed for all workers. How can you pay medical bills if you aren't getting paid while you are sick or recovering from surgery?

No one should have to choose between taking care of themselves or a child and missing a pay check. This is an obvious yes.

Small Missouri employers have enough problems just meeting their payrolls. More government intrusion is not the answer.

You think prices are high now. Wait until they raise them some more if this passes.

If you don't want to be an employee, START A BUSINESS. If you can't start a business, LEAVE BOONE COUNTY. It's quite simple.

Businesses will leave not only Boone County but Missouri if this passes. Businesses will also try extra hard to automate and replace people with AI robots to keep their costs down. The problem with marxist socialists is that they ultimately run out of other people's money.

You accepted the benefits or lack there of when you accepted the job. If they offer overtime see if you can store all or part of your hours for unforeseen circumstances. If not look for a company that provides leave and quit trying to force small businesses out.
