...in regards to having a law like this on the books. As I said to another poster, anyone who claims to be progressive minded and is "okay" with laws like this still existing in the US in the year 2026 are kidding themselves about their progressive mindedness. Sinema is a trashy person but bad law is bad law. Its not quite on the level of "anti-sodomy laws" intended to target people who are gay but its in that same trajectory. Its the kind of legislation that fundamentalist Christian nationalists would cream their pants over... (and then they'd turn around and pass another law to punish themselves for said pants creaming).
