  1. @GottaLaff All this goes back to the #ReligiousFreedomRestorationAct which is blatantly #unconstitutional, a #law cannot modify the #constitution which still directly #prohibits the #establishment of #religion which is exactly what happened after the #RFRA was passed.

    It also violates #LGBTQ People's right to #EqualProtection You cannot allow any group to discriminate under law targeting any american citizen.

    * The bill
    #prohibits state and #local #LawEnforcement from #cooperating with #investigations into families who seek #GenderAffirming #care for their #trans #children.
    * It also
    #protects the #health #information of transgender people who seek care in New York, and it #prohibits #discrimination against transgender people in #employment, #housing, and #public #accommodations.
    * The bill was passed in response to a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills being introduced nationwide.
    Hochul said that the bill "sends a clear message that New York is a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of their gender identity."*

    #Assembly and #Senate with #overwhelming #bipartisan #support.
    * It is the first bill of its kind in the United States.
