Republican Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb vetoed Monday’s bill to prohibit men who identify with women from participating in K-12 sports.
Holcomb, Democratic leaders, and Holcomb deemed the Bill HEA1041 unnecessary. Holcomb stated that he felt the bill was trying to solve a problem currently not present.
“The presumption of the policy laid out in HEA 1041 is that there is an existing problem in K-12 sports in Indiana that requires further state government intervention,” Holcomb said. “It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met. After a thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim even if I support the overall goal.”
Democrats who opposed the bill applauded Holcomb’s decision, saying that it was “encouraging to see Governor Eric Holcomb tell his party that their culture wars have crossed the line.”
Hang on a second … what do you mean “crossed a line?”

The culture war is already in full swing within the sports world. This was the initiative of the progressives, who also decry this bill as being too restrictive. As we have witnessed the destruction of reality, and then the creation of a world that allows our children to change genders whenever they want. Mind you, this is the same side that raucously celebrates and idolizes a man who lives in the delusion that he can be a female and then destroys real women in swimming (yes, Lia Thomas, I’m talking about you). At this point, everything is open to interpretation.
So if Indiana Republicans want to go on the offensive (counteroffensive, really) to make sure that girls play girl’s sports and that boys play boy’s sports, why should that be deemed as too aggressive? It is a positive thing to propose a bill such as this because those few people who believe there is a standard of truth have been too passive in trying to preserve it.
Furthermore, why wouldn’t the governor use his power to ensure that K-12 sports aren’t ruined in the future, even if it is not a problem currently? As we all know, progressives don’t rest until their harmful ideologies are implemented across all areas of culture.
Fortunately, despite Holcomb’s cowardice, there is still a strong chance that the bill gets passed anyway. Republicans currently hold a supermajority in both Senate chambers and would only need a simple majority to veto Holcomb’s decision.
