Democratic lawmakers from 16 states committed to helping transgender youth who have been affected by anti-LGBTQ+ laws in America. This will be done through legislation that will provide legal refuge to trans people and their families who have been displaced. The coalition was announced by the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute and other advocate groups on 3 May, where California state Senator Scott Wiener said he is “sick of just playing defence against what these red states are doing.” “We’re going on offence, we’re going to protect LGBTQ kids and their families…

UK government to ban gay ‘conversion therapy’ after fierce backlash – but not trans

Boris Johnson’s government is set to ban gay ‘conversion therapy’ after all, though his plans reportedly do not cover practices aimed at trans people. On 31 March, a leaked document seen by ITV News confirmed that the UK government was no longer planning to ban so-called ‘conversion therapy’ despite promising to do so since 2018. However, mere hours after the news broke, the government made a U-turn on its decision in the wake of public outcry because of it – including from fellow Conservative politicians. “The Prime Minister has changed…

Boris Johnson joked about trans people at Tory dinner hours before colleague came out

Boris Johnson allegedly made a joke at the expense of the transgender community hours before the first-ever UK MP came out as trans. During a dinner for Conservative MPs on 29 March, the Prime Minister is believed to have mocked Sir Keir Starmer for refusing to get involved in a ‘debate’ being pushed by social commentators over whether or not a woman can have a penis. “Good evening ladies and gentleman – or as Keir Starmer would put it, people who are assigned female or male at birth,” Johnson reportedly…

Exclusive: 9 in 10 people believe UK media’s reporting on so-called ‘trans debate’ is harmful

The vast majority of the LGBTQ+ community believe framing the discussion of transgender rights as a ‘debate’ is harmful, a GAY TIMES survey has found. The findings come as the UK media puts topics like self-identification and using the spaces that align with someone’s gender identity in the spotlight, despite trans and non-binary people being estimated to make up just 1 per cent of the population in Britain. This is often framed as the so-called ‘trans debate’, which frequently sees human rights issues tossed around as if they are a…

Utah’s Republican governor vetoes trans sport ban bill: “Please be kind to everyone”

Utah Governor Spencer Cox cited suicide rates among transgender youth as one of his reasons for vetoing a Republican-backed sports ban bill. House Bill 11 would have seen trans girls banned from participating in school sports teams that align with their gender identity, something he called a flawed measure with an array of legal and financial risks. “Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just…
