The Daughter of the American Revolution!
The New York PostBy Fox NewsOct. 11, 2026The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) voted Saturday to disband its Martha Laird Chapter in Texas that fought to bar transgender women from joining the historic organization, citing violations of its national bylaws.In a letter to chapter members, DAR Organizing Secretary General Marguerite Hogan Fritsch announced that the National Board of Management had approved the chapter’s dissolution by a two-thirds majority vote.“On October 10, 2026, at the meeting of the National Board of Management of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution a resolution passed by two-thirds majority vote to disband the Martha Laird Chapter, NSDAR,” Fritsch said in the letter. “The actions of the chapter have been found in violation of Article XIX, Section 4 of the Bylaws of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,” the letter continued.[...]“The National Board of Management voted on October 10 to disband the Martha Laird Chapter in Texas after finding that chapter officers had used the chapter’s name, leadership positions, communications, and governance processes to further the goals of a separate advocacy organization,” the group told Fox News Digital. “The Board determined that it was this use of chapter authority and resources – not the views being advocated – that constituted conduct discrediting the National Society under Article XIX, Section 4 of the National Bylaws.”
Boy that was a fancy two step... the chapter was struck from the DAR because they aligned with an anti-trans organization... not the fact that it was anti-trans.
“The Board’s decision was not based on the chapter’s or its members’ views concerning membership eligibility, their efforts to propose changes to the National Bylaws, or their right to advocate for changes in National Society governance,” the statement continued.
From that statement it seems they are saying if you don't like trans members... then bring it up at the DAR Board meeting, and they also pointed out that the members approved of adding trans members.
Back in July...
“I am one of those trans daughters,” said one member. “Thank you so very much for being such steadfast allies.”LGBTQ NationGreg OwenJuly 12, 2026At their annual Continental Congress gathering last week, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) rejected a proposal to define trans women out of membership in the organization.The vote was the culmination of a two-year battle among members over who does and doesn’t qualify as a “daughter” in the American lineage society.
Of course the Republicans are hoping mad! Two of them introduced bills in Congress!
Introduced July 15, 2026, by Representative Ben Cline (Republican, Virginia), with Republican cosponsors. It would amend the DAR's federal charter to impose a sex-based membership eligibility requirement. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary CommitteeIntroduced July 28, 2026, by Senator Marsha Blackburn (Republican, Tennessee), alongside Senators Katie Britt, Mike Lee, Tommy Tuberville and Kevin Cramer. It would similarly amend the DAR's federal charter to restrict eligibility. It was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
