Will Florida’s latest set of anti-trans laws allow the state to kidnap trans kids?

In short, yes, but there’s more to it. — Florida’s SB 254 was just signed into law on May 17, 2023. Provisions in this bill allow the state to temporarily take custody of trans children in custody disputes from out of state. This would halt any medical care that the child may be receiving or slated to receive, such…

Texas to Require Displaying the Ten Commandments in Classrooms

The lone star state may be thwarting religious liberty rather than supporting it with SB 1515. — The Texas Senate recently passed a bill (SB 1515)that would require the Ten Commandments to be framed and displayed conspicuously in public schools across the state. Schools that do not have a poster or similar display of the Ten Commandments must acquire one by using either public funds or by…

Why Chaplains in Texas Public Schools are a Bad Idea

Both chaplains and school counselors fill important roles, but they are not interchangeable. — SB 763 would permit public schools in Texas to hire chaplains in public schools instead of school counselors.

It was Never About the Children

Wyoming’s GOP rejected a bipartisan effort to end child marriage in the state while moving forward with anti-queer legislation. — With all the recent talk about groomers and protecting children, it comes as a surprise that few people talk about the USA’s child marriage problem. Some may not even know that this issue exists and are under the impression that child marriage is already illegal in this country. However, this…

The Soul Surfer’s Transphobia Hurts All Women

Anti-trans policies don’t protect cisgender women. Rather, they do more harm than good. — Bethany Hamilton, the famous amputee surfer, has recently announced that she will not compete against transgender women and, as such, is boycotting World Surf League-hosted events. The World Surf League now allows trans women to compete in its competitions. Calling them “male-bodied individuals”, Hamilton went on to say that “male-bodied…

Persecuted Christians Are Not Your Pawns

Weaponizing Christian persecution against queer people is insensitive at best — Chances are, you’ve seen queer inclusivity conflated with Christian persecution if you live in the USA or any other heavily Christian normative country. As a queer Christian myself, it boils my blood when Christian persecution is leveraged against people like me. Fortunately, I have never experienced Christian persecution, but many…

Who is Behind the “He Gets Us” Ads?

Is this a sincere attempt to turn the American church away from its tainted history or a highly deceptive right-wing recruitment front? — You’ve probably seen one of those “He Gets Us” ads by now, especially if you frequently interact with content that deals with Christianity, social justice, or both. At first, these ads seem like they’re from a progressive church. …

The Trans Jesus Uproar is Not What We Think it Is

Joshua Heath’s sermon wasn’t about Jesus Himself. It was about Christian art history. — After the dean of the University of Cambridge defended apparent claims that Jesus was transgender, outrage ensued. An article from the Daily Mail said that worshippers were left distressed and “in tears” at such a thought. Some even said that such a claim was “heresy”. …
