The bill’s defeat means that deep-red Kentucky will not pass any anti-trans laws during what has been an unprecedented year for anti-trans legislation.
The way the amendment was written, it also included individuals in alcohol and drug addiction recovery. Side effect of using 30+ year old mental health diagnostics.
You would think these bigots would have something more useful to do than seek to demonize and isolate a very small number of very good people doing very valuable work for very little recompense.
🌻 this comment is going to be a bit self-indulgent, but we can do this, kin. the mental illness rebrand is their primary strategy right now, and they will continue to use anti-trans measures as riders in order to keep the failures pinned on our persistence. be safe 🤍
Thank you for shining a big light on the GOP roaches! I'd like to think that some folks like me were calling Beshear's office, not only asking for a veto, but also asking him to beat the Democratic lawmakers over the head for not speaking out (not a single senator!) on our behalf to keep the bill from being fast tracked.
Finally some freaking good news!
I know, right?! The last positive article I got to write was two full months ago...
Good and bad news… it just keeps coming. Keep the hope alive!

Shows what people power on the side of truth can do. We can do this!

YES! Public pressure works!
Everyone likes a winner, and
Everyone likes an underdog
Scream our successes from every rooftop!

YAY!!!!!
I’ll take a trans teacher over a frickin white pedophile!
Thank you for this reporting, it is good to see that there is still significant opposition to GOP hate legislation in GOP led states.
Thank you for your reporting. It's greatly appreciated. Please keep up it going. It's invaluable. Sending in $ to support your work.
Not everyone in the south is ignorant. O. Isn’t mitch Macollumm from there?
So a massive win for 0.51% of Kentuckians.
Government. Greater good. Using the government to help the most people possible. Let’s move onto helping the other 99.49% of Kentuckians.
