The measure would have included legal protections from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as well as race, gender, and other characteristics. In his discussion, Meyers skewered the transphobic scare-mongering tactics that were used to defeat the measure, as well as taking hearty sideswipes at similar tactics by FOX News and Mike Huckabee.
