(LifeSiteNews) – Former University of Kentucky All-American collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines pledged to keep working to protect women’s sports from gender-fluid ideology in every state in the union this week, following her attendance at a ceremonial event for Texas’s Save Women’s Sports Act, which is slated to become law next month.
Signed in June, SB 15 requires intercollegiate athletic teams to restrict participation in sex-specific teams to actual members of the correct sex as documented by birth certificates, with colleges and universities subject to civil lawsuits if they do not comply. It takes effect September 1. Female students may still compete on men’s teams in cases where a corresponding women’s team is not available.
On Wednesday, Gaines spoke with the Daily Wire about her experience at the event, a ceremonial signing highlighting the law with Texas Republican Gov.
