A coalition of Pennsylvania father-lawmakers rallied on Oct. 29 in the state Capitol’s Ryan Office Building atrium to promote legislation that would bar males from female sports teams in public schools and colleges.

The event, titled “Dad Legislators Call for Action to Defend Daughters in Sports,” highlighted House Bill 1849—“Dads Defending Daughters”—introduced on Sept. 5 by Republican state Reps. Clint Owlett, Eric Davanzo, Joe D’Orsie, Jonathan Fritz, and Joe Hamm.
