TransAdoption - A Transgender Mentoring Sub/Comm

On Monday, the Supreme Court denied a request from county clerk turned anti-gay gadfly Kim Davis to reconsider and overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision recognizing same-sex couples’ constitutional right to marry. There were no noted dissents.

No one should assume that gay equality is safe at the Supreme Court. But for now, at least, the Republican-appointed justices seem to prefer indirect assaults on the rights of gay Americans over a head-on attack on their core constitutional freedoms.

Today, voters across the country cast their ballots in the first major elections since Trump took office. Facing Trump’s historically low approval ratings, many Republicans, especially Virginia gubernatorial candidate and incumbent Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, pivoted heavily towards anti-trans messaging in an attempt to win over voters.

If the filibuster is abolished, Republicans will be free to declare open season on the LGBTQ+ community.

Insidious. From October 8, but it’s important to keep well in mind what the general trend is which may quietly creep through the states.

Proposed legislation behind the impending US government shutdown contains provisions that would ban federal funding for transgender adults, as well as youngsters.

The proposal is reportedly structured as a three-year reform plan and calls on UCLA to set up a $172 million reparations fund for people with claims of civil rights violations, end sex changes for minors, and affirm that there are only two official genders.

Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.
