When males compete alongside females, fairness evaporates

We are asking the Supreme Court to allow us to enforce the Save Women's Sports Act, which simply demands that all biological males, including those who identify as transgender girls, are ineligible for participation on girls' sports teams. Some will claim this is simply discrimination, but nothing could be further from the truth. If males are allowed to compete alongside females, fairness evaporates.

Disappointed with gay marriage legalization

Morrisey was against the ruling saying he was "very disappointed" and that the decision was no surprise to him. "States should be able to define marriage, that's always been my position," said Morrisey. "At the end of the day, you cannot deprive people the opportunity to debate issues themselves. Having unelected judges usurp the people's voice is really problematic." Source: W.V. Metro News on 2018 West Virginia Senate race , Jun 26, 2015
