Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law upheld after settlement in federal court
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.

Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Lady Gaga Slams
Quick Glance: Lady Gaga condemns transphobic 'degradation' of her photo with Dylan Mulvaney: 'Hatred is violence'
  • Nearly 13 years after releasing the first No. 1-charting song in history to feature the word 'transgender' in its lyrics, Lady Gaga has taken a firm stance against transphobic hatred after receiving intense criticism from conservative individuals for posing for a photo with trans celebrity Dylan Mulvaney.

  • Gaga emphasized that there is still 'immense work' to be done to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us, and that she feels 'very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence.

  • The upcoming Joker: Folie á Deux actress acknowledged that she doesn't speak for the trans community, but expressed hope that 'all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day,' and to eventually see a day 'that all women are celebrated equally' in culture.

  • Though many praised the photo of Gaga and Mulvaney, some took issue with its existence, with one user calling it a 'disgrace' that the image had become synonymous with a celebration of International Women's Day.
