South Carolina state Rep. Cezar McKnight said during an interview on Tuesday night that he has received support from Democrats, Republicans, and even members of the transgender community over legislation he recently introduced that would prohibit transgender surgeries and treatments for minors.
“I’m not anti-transgender, I’m not anti-gay, I’m not a homophobe,” McKnight told Fox News. “And I resent people suggesting such. It was just this last week that I fought to put in protections in our new hate crime bill legislation that would protect gay people, transgender and lesbians. I fought to put that in there. So when I hear people suggest to me that I’m a homophobe, I resent that.”
