Federal judge blocks FL anti-trans law, Nebraska legislators turn against their own anti-trans bill & other Tue/Wed news briefs




Federal judge blocks teacher pronoun restriction in Florida, citing First Amendment - A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Florida education officials from enforcing a law requiring a transgender teacher to use pronouns that align with her sex assigned at birth, saying the law violated her First Amendment rights. 


 Nebraska state Senator John Fredrickson is the first out gay man elected to the state legislature. Now, he has another feather in his cap. After an impassioned speech in opposition to a bill that targeted transgender youth, two of his colleagues changed their minds about the legislation that they had co-sponsored. The measure did not pass out of committee after they did.

    Move over, Mr. Smith - Mr. Fredrickson is going to Lincoln to chew bubble gum, and legislatively kick ass...and I don't see any gumball machines in that state capitol. 😎

    As for Schilling...I may be a Yankee fan (born and raised!) but the '04 Red Sox world series sweep is easily on the podium of heartwarming moments in baseball. And whether we like it or not, Schilling was instrumental in making that happen.

    It's a terrible shame that he allowed the darkness in his heart to fester to such a degree, that his actions off the field to overshadow his accomplishments on the field, to such an extent that his former comrades-at-bat don't even want to speak with him.

    Queerphobia and the far-right ecosystem that fuels it is a horrible cancer on our society.
