Kentucky's new anti-trans law bans conversations around sexual orientation or gender identity in schools, bans gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Hundreds of LGBTQ+ youths and their allies, young and old, protested in a last-ditch attempt to persuade Kentucky’s Republican-dominated Legislature to let one of the nation's toughest anti-trans bills die. Their efforts were to no avail.
Shortly after gaveling in Wednesday afternoon, the Kentucky Senate voted to override Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of Senate Bill 150, and little more than 30 minutes later, the House followed suit, making it law.

This is sad that people want this in schools!
Kinda sad that a law like this is even necessary. It wasn’t 2 decades ago that these sorts of issues were just handled by common sense.
Not “kinda.” Outright sad.
These people have lost grasp of reality.
@Obi1Classic Yeah I mean…remember the days when cutting was considered self-harm. Now if you want to lop off whole healthy body parts….that’s considered…..”reasonable and necessary healthcare.” The medical community has shown that they care more about making money than providing medical care with this. It is shameful.
GREAT. THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR TODAY!!!!
THESE ARE CHILD SAFETY LAWS…. ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU! GROW UP!
@Kyle Morrisyou trans by any chance?
@Brandon Sam No
@Kyle Morris did someone stop breathing? Did their heart stop beating?
@차차차 Yes
@Kyle Morris sorry but not everything fits into your narrative haha
It’s sad that children aren’t allowed to make irreversible life changing decisions that could have adverse consequences for which they might later regret.
@Sage. I speak globally like water and not in small terms. Lmao.
@13eavuss what are you talking about? Since when have God given human rights to be treated equal and humane a state issue? Thats why we are in the position we are in as country because some people think a boarder should determine if someone lives, dies, votes, can’t vote, is treated humane or inhumane.
@Flower Pow your opinion is completely worthless.
Way Past Time To Expose These Unfruitful Workers of Darkness!!!
Good job more of these bills are needed across the country.
Why is it that these weird people are always the one’s that no one wanted to date in high school?
Grade school revenge is truly what they’re bent on. They likely don’t even realize it.. (shocking)
Seeing the face paint man with the goat horns at 0:06 really tells you everything you need to know
For them it’s not about rights. It’s open rebellion against God.
So glad this bill was passed
Hello good morning how are you doing over there?
AMEN KENTUCKY! LET THE LIGHT SHINE!
Florida needs a law like this!
Florida has a law like this.
I was in grade school in the early 70’s. Life was much simpler.
Go Kentucky! Let’s bring sanity back to America!
Get those groomers OUT of public schools!
Good job KY 👍
The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard have well-established equatorial line-crossing rituals. Sailors who have already crossed the Equator are nicknamed Shellbacks, Trusty Shellbacks, Honorable Shellbacks, or Sons of Neptune. Those who have not crossed are nicknamed Pollywogs, or Slimy Pollywogs, or sometimes simply Slimy Wogs.
After crossing the line, Pollywogs receive subpoenas to appear before King Neptune and his court (usually including his first assistant Davy Jones and her Highness Amphitrite and often various dignitaries, who are all represented by the highest-ranking sailors who are Shellbacks), who officiate at the ceremony, which is often preceded by a beauty contest of men dressing up as women, each department of the ship being required to introduce one contestant in swimsuit drag. Afterwards, some may be “interrogated” by King Neptune and his entourage, and the use of “truth serum” (hot sauce + after shave) and whole uncooked eggs put in the mouth. During the ceremony, the Pollywogs undergo a number of increasingly embarrassing ordeals (wearing clothing inside out and backwards; crawling on hands and knees on nonskid-coated decks; being swatted with short lengths of firehose; being locked in stocks & pillories and pelted with mushy fruit; being locked in a water coffin of salt-water and bright green sea dye [fluorescent sodium salt]; crawling through chutes or large tubs of rotting garbage; kissing the Royal Baby’s belly coated with axle grease, hair chopping, etc.), largely for the entertainment of the Shellbacks.

These people getting mad at the bill proved they only care about themselves rather the protection of children from adult influences.
They care about the children this law is going to hurt.
The fact that there’s a bunch of screeching man-children or whatever the hell they wanna be called makes me think this was a good move considering who supports it.
