LGBTQ Agenda: 19 states plan laws to support trans kids

LGBTQ lawmakers from 19 states have or will introduce laws to protect trans kids from civil and criminal penalties when seeking gender-affirming care.At a virtual press conference May 3 with representatives from several states, gay California Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) announced a coalition of LGBTQ legislators, health providers, and civil rights groups from throughout the United States was working to introduce legislation in the various statehouses that would provide refuge and support for trans kids and their families. New Hampshire State Representative Gerri Cannon (D), a trans woman, called for lawmakers across the country to support trans kids no matter where they reside."We should be giving children a chance at a normal life in a society that does not support people who are different," she said during the virtual meeting.The momentum is building from Wiener's March 17 announcement of his planned legislation that would provide protection to trans kids and their families if they come to California from states "criminalizing the parents of trans kids for allowing them to receive gender-affirming care." Written a short time later, his proposal is now encapsulated in Senate Bill 107, as the Bay Area Reporter previously reported.Last month, Wiener shared the bill language via Twitter in hopes of seeing other state legislatures also adopt it.

Queer Lives Are Under Attack. Fight Back at the Polls.

“Florida students stage school walkouts over 'don't say gay' bill”“Mother moves family away from Texas to protect transgender son”“An Idaho bill would criminalize medical treatments for trans youths”In the first week of 2022, we saw Arizona, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, and South Dakota introduce measures that target trans and nonbinary youth, their families, and their communities. It has continued, unabated and unrelenting, and will continue through this year into the critical midterm elections.As a parent, as a queer person, and as an advocate for human rights, I am appalled, overwhelmed, and going to the mat for the LGBTQ+ youth out there that are under attack.If South Dakota and the other initial states were a wakeup call, the escalating trend in so many other states is a five-alarm fire.

Anti-trans Bills Harm Freedom and Liberty for All | Opinion

at least seven states propose bills that target transgender people, freedom of expression and freedom of speech. It is time to stop politicians legislating the nation's bathrooms—and for institutions to step up their defense of freedom.The motive is clear. Republicans have used gender identity as a scare tactic, using lies and myths to attempt to stoke votes out of fear.

Anti-Trans Legislative Push Starts Again in 2022

Above: A protest against anti-transgender legislation in South Dakota last year, photographed by Greg Latza/ACLUAfter a year in which state lawmakers considered and passed a record number of anti-transgender bills, the process is starting again.Legislators in at least seven states introduced a total of nine anti-trans bills in the first few days of 2022, NBC News reports. The states are Arizona, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, and South Dakota.Most of the measures would restrict the rights of trans and nonbinary young people, including their ability to compete in school sports under their gender identity, receive gender-affirming health care, or use the restroom of their choice.“Unfortunately, I think we’re getting ready to watch a race to the bottom among legislators who are in a competition to see who can do the most harm to trans kids,” Gillian Branstetter, a trans activist and media manager for the National Women’s Law Center, told NBC News.

We see Sarah speaking out against discriminatory policies that wouldn’t allow her to use the women’s bathroom; like Mack, Sarah is viewed as a kind of test case for transgender rights.
