LGBTQ

Dozens of big companies are sponsoring LGBTQ+ Pride events and displaying racks of Pride-themed merchandise. But this year, the rainbow has lost some shine.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 14 into law Friday, which bars transgender juveniles from getting puberty blockers and hormone therapies.

The judge, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, said placing strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional.

More than half of people polled said seeing LGBTQ people in ads makes them "more comfortable with people who are different than themselves."

Minnesota now joins ten other states and the District of Columbia in approving transfers to facilities matching an incarcerated person’s chosen gender identity.

This year’s Pride month occurs in a political climate where legislative action from some states has banned drag shows and access to gender-affirming care.

The new law prescribes the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," which is defined as cases of sexual relations involving people infected with HIV as well as with minors and other categories of vulnerable people.

The largest LGBTQ+ rights organization in the U.S. joined other civil rights organizations Tuesday in issuing a travel advisory for Florida, warning that newly passed laws and policies may pose risks to minorities, immigrants and gay travelers.

Missouri and Nebraska proposals are poised for action and could add to the list of at least 17 states that have enacted laws restricting or banning gender affirming care for minors.

The updated FDA guidelines do away with a requirement that men who have sex with men abstain from sex for three months prior to giving blood.

The Kansas bathroom law is different because it applies to more facilities but also because it defines male and female in law based on a person's reproductive anatomy at birth.

The mom of five alleges her religious beliefs on gender prevented her from adopting a pair of siblings in Oregon.

The bill requires the state’s medical board to revoke the licenses of doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors, even though professionals who deal with transgender youth see such care as vital to helping their mental health and preventing suicides.

Becky Pepper-Jackson is in the middle of the outdoor track season.

A new rule proposed by the Biden administration would prevent schools and colleges from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes, but it would allow certain exceptions to promote fairness or reduce injuries.

Both bills are among measures aimed at rolling back LGBTQ rights pursued by Republicans this year across the country. The Kansas bill focuses on bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities.

The anti-LGBTQ bill in Uganda prescribes harsh penalties for some homosexual offenses, including death and life imprisonment.

The bill was supported by nearly all of the 389 legislators present.
