While legal experts said same-sex marriage is safe—for now—attacks on LGBTQ+ couples could increase in the near or far future.
The nightlife legend talks about the golden age of NYC drag, why mainstream LGBTQ+ orgs are failing, and how America keeps using trans people as a political pawn.
Prisma Community Care said they were forced to stop providing gender affirming care to minors in order to comply with grant funds to continue their broader work.
An Arizona federal judge ruled that Peoria's school board didn't violate Heather Rooks's free speech rights when they attempted to shut down her scripture readings. It left the question open on if she's violating the constitution.
A federal judge in Arizona ruled last week that a teacher who sued the Peoria Unified School District, claiming it violated her free speech rights by preventing her from reciting scripture during governing board meetings, lacked standing to bring the claim.
The decision is not a complete victory for those who were wanting more concrete answers on if Heather Rooks, a Peoria Unified Governing School Board Member, violated the state and federal constitution—specifically the Establishment Clause. Instead, the case was dismissed based on whether or not Rooks had a viable injury to make the claim in the first place.
Without that decisive judgement, the lawyers representing Rooks have said that while they appeal the decision, she'll continue using her position to recite scripture during public meetings.
