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.

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.

There are lots and lots of queer artists selling pride merch, y'all. Please don't buy it from Target or Wal-Mart or the big guys. Especially this year.

So proud of Paris, what a star! I said when her book came out it’s one of the best works of literature I’ve read in AGES, I know how much work it took to adapt it to screen TV series - she’s a bloody trooper! 🤩 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I've been hard at work on these figurines for Pride 2025, so to kick off the month, they'll be going live in my shop tomorrow! (There will be a couple more figurines going live later in June as well!) linktr.ee/thebeastbout... [ #thebeastboutique #queermarket #bsnm #queerart ]

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn» En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på. Veldig fin video Oslo Pride🌈

the amount of discrimination that OF artists (and all sex workers tbh) get is ridiculous - they can get locked out of financial services, travel, sometimes other forms of employment, payment processors, now elite sports apparently? It’s WILD, and it can follow you even when you retire!

RFK Jr and MAHA promised a return to “gold standard science.” Their report (likely AI generated) cites studies that don’t exist, and misrepresents existing ones. “Gold standard”? I’d fail an undergrad kid for this.

We had to go to the emergency vet with Francie late last night (she is fine!) and the vet tech who brought us to the exam room looked so exhausted and beaten down at first, which is understandable because that is a hard, hard job. But as soon as she saw Francie her whole demeanor changed. 🥹

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-...

This is exactly why "separate the art from the artist" is only viable if the artist is dead. Stop giving her money. You are choosing to keep giving her money.

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

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.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

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.

For all the assholes on here who told me yesterday that CA hasn't enacted an illegal trans women sports ban can go fuck themselves. Erin always has the receipts.

“It’s not a sports ban, instead we are going to let you compete and if a ‘biological female’ would have earned the medal you earned, we will give it to her and award her the podium spot and record” Anyway, latest CIF release from California here. www.cifstate.org/news/2025_TF...

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...

There is zero ZEROOO doubt in my mind that AI cults are going to be huge. I don't mean, like, "I LOVE AI SAM ALTMAN IS SENPAI" I mean like, "I have used AI to tap into the deep secrets of the ancient, forgotten texts that tell the future and it tells me that /you/ have been /chosen/...to follow me."

Holy shit - Gavin Newsom has clarified that this goes even further. The transgender runner will compete "in her own category." California is basically instituting a sports ban. www.kcra.com/article/cali...
