8. Petition for Floyd to Leave Office

State Rep. Richard Floyd threatened to "stomp a mudhole" into any transgender woman who uses a public restroom in Tennessee. "Stomp a mudhole," according to Urban Dictionary, means "To tear someone a new a--hole, to beat them to near death or to otherwise hurt someone to the point that they can not fight back." We cannot tolerate such hate!

That's why I signed a petition to The Tennessee State House, The Tennessee State Senate, and Governor Bill Haslam, which says:
"State Rep. Richard Floyd does not have the right to threaten transgendered women in his state. Hate speech like this should not be tolerated! Stop the cycle of hate now!"
