Citing the creation of its Human Relations Commission and its ongoing work on racial equity, Carlisle Borough recently sent a letter to Rep. Barb Gleim opposing legislation she sponsored that would bar transgender women from competing in scholastic sports in Pennsylvania.
Gleim represents the 199th district, which includes Carlisle, in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

In a statement read to the borough council at its April meeting, Janelle Crossley, a local trans rights advocate who ran against Gleim in 2020 and intends to do so again in 2022, said the bill was âcreated to display hate, bigotry and discriminationâ against the transgender community and especially children.
