Louisiana advanced anti-LGBTQ+ bills amidst severe weather; House Bill 121 restricts using preferred names/pronouns for students, while House Bill 122 bans discussion of sexual orientation/gender identity in schools.
Proposed laws include a religious exemption for school employees to misgender students with parental permission; parents can request class transfer if a teacher does not use preferred names/pronouns.
Bills passed out of committee 9-3, with Rep. Freiberg being the only Republican to join the two Democrats; highlighting a partisan divide on the issue.
