#LGBTQ+ rights

Heaven forbid people know who they're communicating with over email when face-to-face conversations aren't possible. We'll let the Taylors and Shannons and Lindsays of the world, and anyone else, go misgendered for the sake of my Republican colleagues' feelings. Frankly, this amendment is an embarrassing use of this committee's time when we have so many other pressing issues to address.

In effect, the Trump administration is attempting to roll back civil rights enforcement in housing at the federal level, and pressure states to weaken their own protections as well. That's not just bad policy, it's unlawful.

HF1434, Minnesota's proposed age-verification bill, simply won't protect children. It mandates that websites hosting speech that is protected by the First Amendment for both adults and young people verify users' identities, often through government IDs or biometric data.

We're just so f****** divided right now. The working classes, no matter what colour your skin is, are fighting each other and the elites are taking the f****** p***. It's now very apparent they're taking the p***, but instead of everyone coming together and looking up, we're just fighting and blaming each other.

After her speech, Spencer was making her way across Piccadilly Gardens in the city centre and was confronted by anti-trans activists who questioned her views, before a scuffle broke out between groups.

The image shows a rainbow-colored Star of David with pictures of several trans rights leaders and points out that they're Jewish, including NCTE founder Mara Keisling and GLSEN director Eliza Byard, who isn't transgender. Non-Jewish trans rights leaders are not included in the image.

Two sets of Catholic parents represented by the Thomas More Society say it caused schools to mislead them and secretly facilitate the children's social transition despite their objections. California argued that students have the right to privacy about their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families, and school policies are aimed at striking a balance with parents' rights.

Our flag is red, white, and blue, but our nation is a rainbow-red, yellow, brown, black and white-and we're all precious in God's sight. America is not like a blanket-one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture. The same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
