Anti-trans laws don’t only affect trans people and their families. In Vermillion, South Dakota, a bathroom ban nearly cost a town its only bookstore. Then a young trans couple stepped up. My latest for @washingtonpost.com — wapo.st/4m3PuFP
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.
The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.
