Today, in a sham meeting where the voices of out-of-state activists were uplifted and those of trans Floridians were silenced, the Boards of Medicine and Osteopathy advanced the development of a proposed rule to restrict gender affirming care for transgender youth in Florida.
In Finland, those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected thus make their way back into a stable life. And: All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness. #economicjustice scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

It is no coincidence that the second most banned book in the US tells the story of a Black LGBTQ+ experience.
Writer George M. Johnson's book, "All Boys Aren't Blue," is the second-most banned in the United States, with bans in 29 school districts.
It is a young adult memoir about their experience growing up Black and queer in America.

Gov. Youngkin did this not only to weaken Virginia schools and harm students but to keep us from ALSO caring about the election.

ALT The bottom two thirds is a purple background with the state of Virginia as a repeating watermark. At the top is a wavy pattern with colors reflective of the transgender pride flag. The graphic reads: I support transgender and non-binary students in Virginia! Please speak out against Gov. Youngkin's anti-transgender proposal by submitting a comment before October 26. At the bottom is Equality Virginia's logo.

Trans students should be allowed to use the bathroom matching their gender. And schools that want to support them should be allowed to. #SupportTransYouth
