DAR Dissolves Chapter Over Trans Membership Dispute

1 min read

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a historical organization for women related to American Revolution fighters, has dissolved its Martha Laird Chapter in Texas. The chapter had opposed the organization’s decision to allow transgender women to join, leading to its disbandment.

The National Board of Management of the DAR voted to dissolve the chapter by a two-thirds majority, citing violations of the group’s bylaws. In a letter to members, Organizing Secretary General Marguerite Hogan Fritsch announced the decision, stating the chapter’s actions were in breach of Article XIX, Section 4 of the DAR’s bylaws. However, the letter did not specify which actions constituted the violation or whether the chapter’s opposition to transgender membership played a role in the decision.

The DAR denied that the chapter’s views on membership were the reason for its dissolution. The organization confirmed the disbandment but emphasized that it was not due to the chapter’s stance on transgender inclusion.

The controversy has sparked significant debate within the organization. Many members have expressed concern over the leadership’s shift toward more inclusive policies, which some argue contradict the DAR’s historical mission. The chapter’s opposition to admitting transgender women has been a key point of contention, with members believing the policy undermines the group’s values and heritage.

The leadership of Daughters of the American Revolution is so focused on transing the formerly female organization that they just disbanded the chapter leading efforts against the transing of DAR. https://t.co/vtcvhVJxqy
