We can breathe a quick sigh of relief, but the fight is far from over. 🏳️‍🌈
In decisions to be released by June, I'm expecting them to overturn the bans on conversion "therapy" and to further restrict the rights of our transgender community. 😭

The agreement is required so that LGBTQIA+ children are placed in safe homes.


In Massachusetts, they require the foster parents to respect each child’s chosen name, their pronouns, and their gender expression, prohibiting any attempts to change a youth’s identity. This is especially important to prevent "Christians" who want to perform harmful "conversion therapy" on kids.


The Supreme Court has recently heard a case where "Christians" claim religious freedom violations because of the many state bans on "conversion therapy." We should receive a decision on that case by June, but we also need to monitor these harmful ADF cases that are working their way through the courts.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
