LGBT rights

A bill moving through the Tennessee state legislature would require schools to segregate some facilities based on biological sex.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration’s Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found that they overstepped the president’s authority.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed a law confirming that parents with anti-LGBTQ views are allowed to foster and adopt queer kids. The law comes after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed a new rule requiring LGBTQ foster kids to be placed in supportive environments.

Proposed legislation seeking to strengthen Kentucky’s religious freedom laws has raised concerns from LGBTQ+ advocates who say it could hurt anti-discrimination ordinances across the state.

Around the country, LGBTQ+ students and the campus groups founded to support them have become a growing target in the culture wars.

Late Friday, a federal judge overturned a new Tennessee law prohibiting drag performances in public spaces, ruling it unconstitutional.

Sen. Karen Berg, who lost her trans son to suicide, urged her GOP colleagues not to pass an anti-trans measure. They did anyway.

Advocates decried anti-LGBTQ bills moving through the Kentucky Legislature during a rally on Wednesday.

Students say the bills would make schools less safe and welcoming places for LGBTQ kids to learn.

The right to abortion is fundamental for the LGBTQ community, say the Kentucky Fairness Campaign and ally organizations.
