Anti-trans bills banning gender-affirming care for minors have passed one legislative chamber in at least 10 other states, with many other anti-LGBTQ bills moving forward as well.
Apart from First Amendment and over-broadness issues can these laws, along with other "parental rights" laws, be challenged on Equal Protection grounds? Not so much the protections of LGBTQ folks themselves (though that, too), but of parents who WANT their children to learn that it is OK to have two dads or WANT their children to have gender-affirming care. Or for that matter, to go to a drag queen story hour.
These laws definitely penalize one set of citizens in aid of "protecting" the views of another.
I’m stuck on requiring teachers assisting disabled students to be the same “biological sex”. I view it, on top of everything else, as yet another attack on teachers, making their jobs so difficult they’ll quit and we can say public education doesn’t work. I help disabled children change their diapers all the livelong day. If I had to call one of the 3 male teachers in our school every single time I helped a male student, merely because apparently teachers are all (hetero) pervs, I’d quit.
We are going to make re-election hell for these politicians, and there are plans for ad campaigns specifically calling out businesses a sponsor owns , we believe if you are the kind of person that approves such privacy violations your customers and business associates have a right to know about it

The Republican hatefest, under the guise of "protecting families/children" continues unabated. It's disgusting.
