The Kansas Legislature’s GOP majority has overridden a veto by Democratic Gov Laura Kelly to pass a bill that will ban transgender girls and women from female sports at public schools and public colleges. The governor said simply “I’m sorry that they distracted themselves with this really awful bill.”
Last Friday, the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a public school teacher cannot misgender a transgender student under the guise of religious accommodation for the teacher because it cannot justify the ‘harm to students and disruption to the learning environment”. This upholds a prior ruling from January 2020.
New York City police are searching for 7 suspects in a stabbing that is also an apparently hate crime after the group of suspects yelled anti-gay slurs before punching and then stabbing the victim in Hell’s Kitchen on April 5. NYC Police are asking for anyone with information to contact them.
