Lies and Laws vs. Trans Kids and Families

Lies and Laws vs. Trans Kids and Families

Author: Overnight Productions, Inc. December 24, 2024 Duration: 28:59
Lies about transgender and nonbinary youth are the basis for the fountain of new laws making it increasingly difficult to access lifesaving pediatric gender-affirming healthcare. While the lies and the laws get most of the attention, TransFamily Support Services founder Kathie Moehlig helps the targeted kids and their families navigate the nightmare (interviewed by David Hunt). And in NewsWrap: Ghana’s version of a “no promo homo” law withstands Supreme Court challenges on grounds that they are premature, third Japanese appellate court rules that denying same-gender couples’ access to civil marriage is unconstitutional, the Australian Bureau of Statistics gleans initial estimates about the LGBTQ+ community from the results of four recent health surveys, the U.S. Senate approves a bill that bans access to gender-affirming healthcare for the children of military families, a policy that would prevent Montana trans people from changing the gender marker on their government documents is blocked by a judge pending litigation, Sir Elton John gladly accepts a new title from Stephen Colbert, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by David Hunt and Melanie Keller (produced by Brian DeShazor).
