Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.

The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.

The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.

The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care

Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.

Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.

Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: White House Responds to 'Dishonest' Republican Criticism of Biden's Transgender Proclamation on Easter

The White House is pushing back against misleading criticism from top Republicans of President Joe Biden for issuing a proclamation in support of transgender people on Easter.

A spokesman for the president rejected attacks from the House speaker and others claiming Biden's message for the Transgender Day of Visibility contradicts Christianity.

Biden has issued a proclamation marking March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility every year since taking office in 2021.

Biden allies are also challenging the attacks and highlighting that the criticism this Easter weekend also involves an egg art contest for the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Quick Glance: Vatican Denounces Gender Surgery, Surrogacy, and Gender Theory

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.

Kansas governor vetoes gender-affirming trans care ban: Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a similar bill last year.

Quick Glance: Debate Over Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth in Kansas

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a law that aimed to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth in the state.

In a message on Friday, Kelly stated that this divisive legislation targets a small group of Kansans by imposing government mandates on them and dictating to parents how to best raise and care for their children.

She had previously vetoed a similar bill one year ago, and companies have made it clear that they are not interested in doing business with states that discriminate against workers and their families.

The Republican-backed bill may be able to override the governor's veto and restricts the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for minors, with exceptions for specific cases.

Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure

A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.

Florida teachers can discuss sexual orientation and gender ID under 'Don't Say Gay' bill settlement

apnews.com/article/florida-dont-say-gay-bill-settlement-987904b3e19122d719cf468034746b6e

Quick Glance: Florida's Recent Agreement Allows Discussion of Sexuality and Gender Identity

A recent agreement between Florida education officials and civil rights attorneys allows students and teachers to freely discuss sexual orientation and gender identity, as long as it is not part of instruction.

The agreement clarifies that Florida laws do not prohibit discussion of LGBTQ+ individuals, allow anti-bullying rules based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and do not exclude Gay-Straight Alliance groups.

The legal battle over the law, dismissed by a federal judge in Tallahassee, was led by civil rights attorneys on behalf of teachers, students, and parents.

The new arrangement emphasizes the neutrality of the law and underscores the protection of all students at public schools in Florida, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Idaho's ban on youth gender-affirming care has families desperately scrambling for solutions

Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care

The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.

A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.

The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.

This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.

Ghana’s parliament passes controversial new anti-LGBTQ bill: The bill, which awaits being signed into law, is one of the harshest in Africa.

abcnews.go.com/International/ghanas-parliament-passes-controversial-new-anti-lgbtq-bill/story

Quick Glance: Ghana: Activists Fight Against LGBTQ+ Criminalization Law

Ghana has passed a controversial bill that penalizes not only LGBTQ+ individuals but also those who defend them, with up to 10 years in prison. Activists have pledged to challenge the law, awaiting the president's signature.

The law sets prison terms from six months to three years for LGBTQ+ sexual acts, already illegal in Ghana. It also criminalizes those advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, with up to 10 years in prison if targeting minors.

A clause in the law requires reporting anyone identifying as LGBTQ+ to the police or community leaders, with up to three years in prison for such identification. The bill was promoted as contributing to UN sustainable development goals.

The bill was passed by a coalition of Christian, Muslim, and traditional Ghanaian leaders, arguing it aligns with UN development goals. Activists believe the law misrepresents the country's values and implications.
