Quick Glance: Warnock Denounces Johnson for Trans Day of Visibility Criticism: Contrary to Christian Beliefs
  • Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) denounced GOP attacks against President Biden for marking Trans Day of Visibility on Sunday, specifically calling out Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) criticisms as the “opposite of the Christian faith.

  • Warnock, a reverend who on Sunday gave an Easter sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Martin Luther King Jr.’s church in Atlanta, said the criticisms from Johnson, the Trump campaign and other conservatives go against scripture.

  • The White House also pushed back on the criticism Saturday, noting that Biden is himself a devout Catholic and stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.

  • The Transgender Day of Visibility was established 15 years ago to honor and raise awareness about the discrimination faced by transgender individuals. The date of Easter varies annually.

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: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas
  • The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.

  • The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.

  • Last year, Kelly vetoed four bills imposing restrictions on transgender individuals, including measures preventing transgender girls and women from participating in female K-12 and college sports teams, and ending legal recognition of transgender identities in the state.

  • In recent years, an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced in state legislatures. Lawmakers introduced nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2024 legislative session, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union. By May 2023, legislators had introduced over 400 such bills, a significant increase from about 150 in 2022.

Quick Glance: Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Bill Criminalizing Adults Aiding Minors in Gender-Affirming Care
  • Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse approved a bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.

  • The bill closely resembles language from an anti-abortion trafficking proposal approved by Tennessee Republican lawmakers the day before.

  • Critics caution about the broad application of the law, ranging from discussing care options with adolescents to aiding in travel to states with looser gender-affirming care restrictions.

  • Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, as identified by the Human Rights Campaign, calling it a staggering assault on their constituents.

  • The Biden administration released rules that protect the rights of LGBTQ students and change how schools can respond to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

  • The Education Department updated Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in school programs, with the changes set to take effect on August 1.

  • The new rules eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations, broaden the definition of sexual harassment, and officially expand Title IX interpretation to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students.

  • These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.

  • Tim Knopp, R-Bend, is one of five Republican senators who contested the interpretation of Measure 113 by the state.

  • After refusing to attend Senate floor sessions last year, eight Republican lawmakers in the Oregon Senate are prohibited from seeking reelection, ruled the Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday.

  • In a unanimous decision that may impact the upcoming legislative session, the court supported the interpretation of Measure 113 by Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade, the 2022 ballot measure approved by voters with the aim of ending legislative absences.

  • In doing so, the court adopted an interpretation of the law acknowledged by the state as difficult to reconcile with its actual language – effectively ruling that the clear intent of voters in passing the measure was more important than the plain wording inserted into the state Constitution.
