A federal judge has voided Obamacare’s requirements that insurance companies cover the full costs of life-saving HIV prevention and treatment drugs, claiming requiring Christian employers to do so violates their rights under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).In that same ruling, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, who has a lengthy history of deciding against #LGBTQ people and in favor of the far Christian right, also voided requirements #insurancecompanies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), cover other life-saving medications and procedures including cancer screenings, mental health services, and diabetes treatments, although for reasons unrelated to religion.“In September,” Reuters reports, “O’Connor held that the US Preventive Services Task Force, which determines what qualifies as a covered preventive measure under the ACA, can’t validly do so because its members aren’t subject to Senate confirmation and their recommendations aren’t reviewed by constitutionally appointed government officials.”Thursday’s decision is an extension of Judge O’Connor’s September ruling, in the same case, Braidwood Mgmt., Inc. v. Becerra.The case was brought by Dr. Steven Hotze, a far-right Republican activist and religious extremist who has attacked the LGBTQ community for decades. Last fall The New York Times identified Braidwood Management’s owner as “Dr. Steven F.

A federal judge in Tennessee on Friday temporarily halted the state’s new law that criminalizes some drag performances, hours before it was set to take effect.NOTE: When having a conflict between citizens and a state, commonwealth, or territory, the federal government is often the mediator. Judge Thomas Parker cited constitutional protections of freedom of speech in issuing a temporary restraining order.“If Tennessee wishes to exercise its police power in restricting speech it considers obscene, it must do so within the constraints and framework of the United States Constitution,” Parker wrote.“The Court finds that, as it stands, the record here suggests that when the legislature passed this Statute, it missed the mark,” he wrote.Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, signed the novel bill into law March 2. It was set to effect Saturday.The first-of-its-kind law bans “adult cabaret entertainment” on public property or in locations where it could be viewed by a minor.The law has sometimes been referred to as a drag ban.#supportdrag #supportdragartists #supportdragqueens #tennessee #tennesseedrag #tennesseedragqueen ...

Kentucky #Democrat Governor Andy Beshear issued an election-year veto Friday to #SB150, a sweeping Republican bill aimed at regulating the lives of transgender youths that includes banning access to gender-affirming health care and restricting the bathrooms they can use. "It tears away the freedom of parents to do what those parents believe is best for their kids and instead has big government making those decisions for everyone, even if the parents disagree," said Governor Beshear.The bill also bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools and allows teachers to refuse to refer to transgender students by the pronouns they use. It easily passed the #GOP-dominated legislature with veto-proof margins, and lawmakers will reconvene next week for the final two days of this year's session when they could vote to override the veto.Please register to vote! REMOVE THE PEOPLE STRIPPING OUR RIGHTS AWAY FROM OFFICE AND KEEP THE ONES PROTECTING US. WE MUST RE-ELECT Governor Andy Beshear THIS YEAR: vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/ALSO FOR CITIZENS: Governor Beshear vetoed #SB65: nullifying #Medicaid expansion. #SenateBill65 would nullify several administra#SB65regulations from Beshear’s team, including one that aimed to expand hearing, vision and dental benefits to an estimated 700,000 #Kentuckians on Medicaid.Beshear, in his veto message, said the bill would “harm Kentuckians and frustrate efforts to increase Kentucky’s workforce." He also said the bill was unconstitutional because, he argued, it infringed on the governor’s right to issue administrative regulations.Kentucky Equality Federation's Col. Jordan Palmer warned that #Republicans WILL overwrite the veto when they return on March 29th and March 30th, so please register to VOTE! ... See MoreSee Less
