Rob Sand on Civil Rights

 

 


Yes to LGBTQ+ rights; no to transwomen in women's sports

Sand is about a month into his campaign and is facing some backlash from the transgender community over his response to a question on the Simon Conway radio show. Conway asked Sand if he believed biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports. Sand replied with a simple no. However, Sand has backed transgender and LGBTQ+ rights in general in the past, tweeting a video earlier this year decrying a bill removing civil rights protections for gender identity.
