The ACLU of Ohio has created a series of videos sharing the lives of transgender Ohioans.

More than 180,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in California after an emergency was declared at Oroville Dam, the tallest dam in the United States.

Of course, local Republicans know exactly who to blame: transgender people.

--Nick Duffy, PinkNews

Oroville Dam: Dept. Water Resources ignored warnings 12 years ago – they did not want to incur the extra costs.

Instead, CA Gov. Brown and legislative Democrats have prioritized illegal aliens, inmate sex change operations, building homes for the homeless, transgender bathrooms, Eric Holder’s consulting services, and Climate change awareness, as our infrastructure is crumbling.

When employees and volunteers at the Los Angeles LGBT Center arrived at work Friday, they discovered that one wall of a Center facility at Ed Gould Plaza (near Santa Monica Blvd. and Highland) had been defaced. Between 9 and 10 pm on Thursday night someone had spray painted an outer wall with graffiti: Fuck Trannies...Fuck all y'all.

On the second day of Jeff Sessions the DoJ filed notice in the Fifth Circuit that it is withdrawing its request that a nationwide injunction against pro-transgender policies be limited to the states that sought the injunction.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and AG Ken Paxton briefed "faith leaders" on SB6 at a Hyde Park Baptist Church event in Austin. The event was called by the "US Pastor Council".

More than enough people on the right think that transgender people transitioning is a sign of a mental disorder.

Example:

Dear Connie. I cannot speak professionally but can only repeat what professionals say about what you are going through. I believe it is called Gender Dysphoria, I hope I got the spelling right, and am saddened by the fact that North Carolina doesn’t provide the help you need to readjust from the mental disorder you suffer with. It appears that allowing you to use a bathroom, locker room or shower of your choice only reinforces the disorder not helps to correct it. As compassionate legislator I seek to help people who are suffering. If you are willing I can investigate promoting legislation to help those who suffer from this disorder and with your help can work to alleviate the pain and suffering caused by this disorder. I’m willing to help if you are willing to be helped and help others.

--NC Rep. Mark Brody, cosponsor of HB 2

Of course, Brody has no science supporting his view.

The Movement Advancement Project has released a new report, Mapping transgender equality in the United States.

MAP found that 31 states have low or negative ratings for protecting transgender rights.

There was an editorial in The Deseret News on Sunday: Common Ground a positive initiative to bring faith-based institutions and LGBT groups together

We applaud the NCAA's recent initiatives to bring faith-based higher-education institutions into civil dialogue with LGBT students and student-athletes.

The paragraph made me chuckle a bit:

The Archdiocese of St. Louis is deeply saddened and disturbed by the Boy Scouts of America’s announcement that the organization will allow transgender youth into its programs.

A sad story

On December 8, the student everyone knew as Carl climbed into the pulpit at St. Joseph's Chapel at Kent School in Danbury, Connecticut.
