Transgender California GOP delegate says the Trump administration will protect the LGBTQ community

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Gina Roberts, a champion target shooter and supporter of President Donald Trump, says she wishes everyone would take a deep breath and relax about the controversy over transgender students using bathrooms.
Roberts was one of hundreds of GOP loyalists attending the California Republican Party convention in Sacramento this weekend and almost assuredly, she surmised, the party's first transgender delegate.
At a Saturday gathering of tea party supporters, Roberts stood up and asked how they could all work together without all the "background noise," a suggestion that appeared to be well received by other speakers there.
Beforehand, she told the Los Angeles Times that Trump's critics overreacted to the administration's decision to cease a federal mandate, implemented by President Barack Obama, directing schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms and other facilities that match their gender identities.
