Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.

Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.

Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington.

Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.

I would respect Graham Platner more* if he had said, ya, I got this totenkopf tattoo when I was in the military and though it was edgy. I'm sorry, it was dumb and wrong." Instead we get "Gosh, I had no idea this was a Nazi symbol, oops!"

*not much more

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night “This is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Get a flag staked if you live in Utah, or order a flag online if you're elsewhere! Either way, your contribution supports affirming events for queer folks in a red state.

if Graham Platner didn’t know that he got a nazi symbol tattooed over his heart, then he shouldn’t be a senator.

The image is a meme featuring two people labeled "Leftists" and "DNC" (Democratic National Committee). The "Leftists" person, a woman on the left, is speaking with hand gestures and is captioned saying, "You have 2 years to generate a candidate that doesn't support genocide." The "DNC" person, a man on the right, responds with the caption, "So you're just gonna let Trump win?"

People do realize that positioning any serious topic as a distraction from a different serious topic is you just saying you don't want other people talking about anything other than what you want to talk about, right.
