Bright double rainbow over IAD/Washington DC for world pride as I take off to be with my wife :)

1. HRC has launched a more defiant protest tone for Pride this year. In their campaign announced today, "These Colors Don't Run," one feature went rather viral... the image of an Eagle with progress pride flag colors, painted nails, falsies, and a harness. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Great ruling out of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit has ruled that there is no "first amendment" religious right to discriminate against transgender customers. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

1. We have more info about California's transgender segregation/partial ban/displacement rule for the upcoming championships. If the trans athlete wins, the athlete underneath her will be given the same medal, unclear on if they will share the podium.

Cis people have no idea just how stupid gender is about to get

What these laws REALLY mean is trans people can't use any public restroom. Which is why Republicans pass them. It's a way to help drive trans people out of public existence.

this is not a "failure", or even an unintended consequence of bathroom policing, btw. anything that makes a trans life harder to live is a success for the people who make these laws

1. A transgender man was detained in South Carolina for using the restroom that Republicans want him to use. Officers allegedly hurled slurs at him for doing so. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-man-...

The way to understand this is Donald Trump targeted a single teenager in Gavin Newsom's state and Gavin Newsom's response was to agree with Trump that this child's existence was an unfortunate inconvenience to his own ability to come in fourth in the 2028 Iowa caucus

The HHS is now telling medical centers to adhere to their latest sham report on transgender healthcare which literally says is not a treatment guideline. They’re sending this letter to hospitals in blue states and threatening them unless they stop trans care. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

Today, I spoke on NPR affiliate KCRW's "Press Play" about transgender sports ban, AB Hernandez, and what is going on in California. I really think I killed this interview y'all. Give it a listen. www.kcrw.com/news/shows/p...

Oh look at that, capitulating to Trump does nothing. Despite Newsom and CIF banning a trans girl from competing in the same category as her cisgender peers, California is still being investigated for not discriminating hard enough. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ma...
