LGBTQ+ Rights and America

Yep. It's an attempt to throw hurdles in the way of same-sex marriage.

A court will immediately smack this down (right now, I don't see Obergefell being overturned; Gorsuch won't put up with it and Roberts is trying very hard not to score more points for the Democrats) but in the meantime it'll cause more pain for Tennessee couples.

Let's wake this thread up with some good news.

Court rules that trans girl in West Virginia can participate in track alongside other girls. The Fourth Circuit was up until recently very conservative, but recently they've been on the cutting edge of expanding the rights of trans people.

This is a pretty nice ruling, especially since the Supreme Court are probably going to take a punt on this (they already refused to let the ban stand while the appeal was on) which will mean that Ms. Pepper-Jackson gets to run with her peers, as will other girls in the affected states.

Speaking of trans-athletes, I find it both amusing and annoying how whenever there's a news about them having "unfair advantages", it's almost always from a (far) right source.

Honestly, I used to believe that too, until I started to actually check my sources and went, "wait a minute...!"

Well, yeah. The right are the ones who came up with the term "reality-based community" like it was an insult. Of course their heirs will intentionally spew bullshit and pretend it's facts.
