Alabama lawmakers approved sweeping legislation Thursday to outlaw gender-affirming medications for transgender kids and advanced a separate measure prohibiting early classroom instruction on sexual and gender identity — a bill critics have dubbed "Don't Say Gay," a reference to a similar law recently passed in Florida.
Rep. Neil Rafferty, the only openly gay member of the Alabama legislature, appeared to struggle to hold back his anger and maintain composure as lawmakers headed to the vote. "Their brains are not developed to make the decisions long term about what these medications and surgeries do to their body," Allen said.
The bill would also require school counsellors, nurses and others to tell parents if a child discloses they believe they are transgender.
Figures those Alabama inbreeds
🙄
Adults should let kids be kids and not push their own bs on them. It is not prudent to make someone define themselves at all. Do what you want to do regardless of gender.
Good job Alabama 👏
Thank you Alabama
Good!
Only groomers disapprove.
Good children shouldn't go through that process till it time at puberty when they are able to process and understand it
Maybe the CBC should be investigating Canadian stories.
USA the narrow minded
Why is Canadian state run media covering this?
But dont worry they will also make leagle to marry children so you can have sex with them cause u know its okay as long as your married
Way to go!!!! Let kids be kids. We all had feelings and confusions at certain ages which we grew out of. After age 25 if you want to turn yourself into a tree, that’s your choice but not KIDS.
Great news! Let kids be kids - don’t confuse them with their sexuality because of their feelings. It does irreparable damage.
Groomers will not prevail
Republican/Christian Taliban States 🤮🤬
Deliberately monstrous.
Thank you Alabama!! Say no to groomers
I see the right-wing crackpot brigade is out in full force to promote their special brand of ignorant hatred…
Stop screwing our kids up. The gov has no right to tell a five yr old that there is TWO genders. Any belief beyond that is the same as believing in unicorns and purple dinosaurs. Go mutilate yourselves, and go get medical help.
Good
Thank god someone cares more about kids than virtue signaling to lunatics.
Both are very good things. And it is not gender-affirming medication. It called CHILD ABUSE.
Good. Hopefully changes head in that direction in Canada too.
good
The horror of not allowing weirdos to mutilate and groom children!
Alabackwards
GOOD AND THANK GOD!
