#US. #District #Judge #ThomasParker, a #Trump #appointee, #ruled the #dragban “is an #unconstitutional #restriction on #speech.”

The District Attorney wrote in a three-page “#notice” addressed to #BlountPride organizers and distributed to local #law #enforcement, “however if sufficient #evidence is presented to this office that the #unconstitutional #criminal #statutes have been #violated, our office will ethically and justly prosecute these cases in the interest of justice.”

# Judge rules Arkansas ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors violates US Constitution

* #Arkansas was the first state to enact a #ban on #GenderAffirmingCare for #minors.
* The #law was #temporarily #blocked in 2021, and on Tuesday, a #federal #judge #issued a #permanent #injunction against it.
* The judge #ruled that the #ban #violated the #DueProcess and #EqualProtection #rights of #transgender #youth and families.
* The law also violated the #FirstAmendment rights of medical providers.
* This is the first ruling to overturn such a prohibition, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the legal challenges to similar bans in other states.

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.

The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."

The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.

The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.

The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.
