It\u2019s just now it\u2019s protecting them, and it\u2019s saying to people you can\u2019t take rights away from me just because you don\u2019t agree with who I am,\u201d Talbot said in an exclusive HRC <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">video<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s about me having the right to a restaurant, go shopping, get a coffee &#8211; the day-to day life things.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Republican Gov.
