Alabama’s senators have joined supporters of legislation that would bar transgender women from joining the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Daughters Advocating for Restoration, a group of DAR leaders that has encouraged local chapters to support barring transgender women from membership, introduced the unsuccessful resolution.
An estimated five transgender women have joined DAR in recent years, prompting debate over its eligibility requirements and calls from Daughters Advocating for Restoration to amend the bylaws.
According to Daughters Advocating for Restoration, 153 DAR chapters in 36 states had publicly supported the group’s proposed bylaw amendment as of Tuesday.
Nine Alabama DAR chapters have joined Daughters Advocating for Restoration in requesting a special meeting to amend the organization’s bylaws.
