The Supreme Court’s ruling that “conversion therapy” cannot be banned does not change the fact that the literature overwhelmingly shows that sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts cause serious, lasting harm to individuals exposed to such efforts.

Video of clash over gender-identity content in Texas A&M children’s lit class leads to firings After the video fueled outrage, two college leaders were removed from their administrative roles for approving plans to teach content inconsistent with the course’s published description.

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

US supreme court upholds Tennessee ban on youth gender-affirming care Ruling is devastating loss for trans rights supporters in case that could set precedent for dozens of other lawsuits

This is horrifying and will shorten trans lives.

At the same time, we know that trans people have survived attack and erasure many times over, providing each other with love, care, and basic needs. We won't stop or be stopped.
