When Tiffany Holloway’s trans teenager said he’d kill himself if his state outlawed gender-affirming care, she decided to fight back with love and community support.

The bill requires any materials on sexuality given by a counselor to a student be disclosed to parents, potentially forcing counselors to out students, endangering their lives.

Outside his office, a trans protestor held a sign that said: “How does it feel bullying kids needing support?”

The bills would make it harder – or even ban – presenting books in class that talk about LGBTQ people.

“Having a birth certificate that reflects who I am as a human being is crucial and can present a basic issue of safety for me,” said one of the plaintiffs.

The bill will charge schools $10,000 a day for having LGBTQ books and blacklist school librarians who allow such books to stay on the shelves.

Despite both parents’ names appearing on the birth certificate, the judge is denying a mother her parental rights. Now, a major legal battle is underway.

Attorney General John O’Connor says many books that are acceptable now might be considered “pornographic” by the time his review is done.

The bill would allow parents to sue teachers for $10,000 “per incident, per individual.” The fine would need to be paid by the teacher “from personal resources” and the educator cannot “receive any assistance from individuals or groups” or they’ll be fired.

The bill would entitle parents to seek a minimum of $10,000 per day for each day that the book remains on the shelves.

Heads rolled because ““I believe that people are created by God to be male or female. Period. There is no such thing as non-binary sex.”

The former youth minister at an anti-gay church was left with visible, severe injuries after being “tackled” and captured by a witness.

“It was nice,” Dax said of their former adoptive family “but then they like, they started not loving me anymore for who I was, being LGBTQ.”

“We are fixin’ to shock Oklahoma,” he said right before the flag went up in a neighborhood festooned with Trump banners.

Gov. Kevin Stitt needs money to fight Joe Biden, “woke liberals,” and PETA to “make sure Chick-fil-A never has another sauce shortage.”

The woman was turned away when her name didn’t match the male name on her ID card.

At least one mom is not having it. She’s pressing the school superintendent to take action.

The religious right is using the same tactics, for the same reasons, to stop medical treatment or sports for trans youth as it has against abortion providers.

But the state’s non-binary legislator had a sharp comeback for the anti-LGBTQ Republican.

From school sports to putting doctors in prison for treating trans patients, lawmakers in these states want to make people’s lives harder.
