Republican Presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich flies his LGBTQ colors:
John Kasich: I would not have signed transgender restroom bill
April 9, 2016
Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Saturday that he would
not have signed a bill like the one that was recently passed in North Carolina, where Republican Gov. Pat McCrory approved a controversial measure last month protecting businesses from anti-LGBT discrimination lawsuits and requiring transgender individuals to use public restrooms that correspond with the sex indicated on their birth certificates.
"I believe that religious institutions ought to be protected and be able to be in a position of where they can live out their deeply held religious purposes," Kasich, who's running for the Republican presidential nomination, told host John Dickerson in an interview for Sunday's "Face the Nation." "But when you get beyond that it gets to be a tricky issue. And tricky is not the right word, but it can become a contentious issue."
"In our state, we're not facing this, so everybody needs to take a deep breath, respect one another, and the minute we start trying to write laws, things become more polarized, things - they become more complicated," he added. "Obviously I don't want to force people to violate their deeply held religious convictions, but we'd have to see what that's all about. I wouldn't have signed that law from everything I know, I haven't studied it."

Gosh Governor Kasich, I didn't know that women and little girls who enter a public restroom or locker room with the expectations of not having to share it with a mentally ill man had anything to do with "deeply held religious convictions".
