OMAHA- Andrea Kathol, founder of Field Day Development, was one of several businesses and nonprofits who endorsed the letter and subsequently were contacted by phone. A call that led to Kathol calling the police about what she considers a threatening call from a person angry over a public letter urging state officials to drop bills targeting LGBTQ rights. Kathol said she was so sickened by the message, which was filled with foul and derogatory language, that at a certain point she stopped listening.

Kathol proceeded to warn her staff of the phone call and lock the doors to her business. The call, in part, said: “Hey loser, what the (expletive) is wrong with you? You want males in girls sports? How (expletive) is that? … Are you mutilating the genitals of children as we speak or just advocating for that? … You’re (expletive) outed.” The caller said the motive for her actions were thoughts about the future of her eight daughters, her sisters, and other women.

The letter was signed by more than 100 business and nonprofit leaders. It objected to “harmful social legislation” and cited proposed Legislative Bill 574, which would block minors from receiving certain gender-affirming procedures, and LB 575, which would ban transgender girls from competing in girls school sports. The letter highlighted that the bills would harm recruitment and retention in the state.
