Her reputation preceded her. As Bourne approached the lectern for public comment — shouting about “healthy, whole women!” — scores of district-area teachers got up from their seats and walked out of the meeting.

Bourne went ballistic.

“Ask those teachers to stop interrupting my comment!” she shouted at the meeting chair. “I want my time back! I want my time back!”

    Here’s the video. Click the public comment link to jump directly to public comments, she’s the second to last commenter, and she comes in hot lol.

    She seems to be okay with gay men and lesbian women, but draws the line at transgender folks - perhaps because her own child is transgender? Unfortunately she’s missing the bigger picture.

        Yeah, kinda bizzare. Like you’re okay with one segment of LGBTQ+ but not others.

        That’s the problem with anti-LGBTQ+ folks. They want it to be simple, cut and dry, but each person is unique in how they feel inside and out. All you have to do is support the people we love, our friends and neighbors. Don’t try to figure it out for yourself, just be there to support others through their journey.

        Why is that so hard? (Rhetorical question of course)
