DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Basically the Trump admin isn't going to try and protect students from schools that won't let students use the bathroom of the choice anymore. CNN: The Justice Department on Friday signaled it stopped fighting to overturn a national injunction blocking the federal government from giving guidance to schools and transgender students, another sign President Donald Trump's administration is taking a different approach than former President Barack Obama's. A hearing was set for next Tuesday in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in which the Justice Department was fighting Texas and 11 other states, which had filed a lawsuit to prevent the Education Department from being able to give that guidance to transgender students that they are allowed to use restrooms that match their gender identity. But on Friday night the Justice Department and the states filed a joint notice saying both sides moved to cancel the hearing. Currently the injunction preventing the guidance from being given is nationwide. The Obama Administration had been asking the court to limit the scope of the injunction to the 12 states which are parties to the lawsuit. Activists of the LGBT community said the Justice Department move to cancel the hearing is not a good sign and believes it signals a shift in policy. The move on this issue came one day after Jeff Sessions was sworn in as attorney general.

Aura Veil 2,395 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Republican LGBT+ members voted against their self-insterest, again. They should've researched this election thoroughly because Donald never had their back and he never will. They should also not vote based on party loyalty, either.

Goosey 3,017 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 1 hour ago, The Fame Joanne said: And then they appear again in other threads with this one pic of him holding the rainbow flag upside down Not his fault He had three options: 1. Hold the flag purple side up 2. Hold the flag red side up, with the written message upside down 3. Refuse to hold the flag at all Clearly option 1 is the best course of action. And anyways, most people, even most gay people, wouldn't notice the flag was upside down, or think about if there's a specific way to display it, because it's geometrically symmetrical and its orientation isn't important since there's no similar-looking flags to confuse it with. And then there's this: "There is no "right-side up" for this flag. It may be flown either red up or purple up. This information comes directly form Gilbert Baker, the gay artist who conceived of the "The Rainbow Flag" as a symbol of Gay Pride." —James Ferrigan, 26 July 1999 "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.
