A bill proposed in Kentucky would allow the state to remove trans kids from their homes for using bathrooms at school that align with their gender identities rather than their biological sex.
Sponsored by state Rep. Jason Petrie (R), H.B. 747 does not explicitly mention trans kids or bathrooms, but instead uses broad language that subtly refers to a state anti-trans law that passed in 2023. The new bill seeks to add a definition of child abuse to state law, describing it as “a parent’s failure to properly supervise, instruct, train, or control his or her child” with that failure leading to “the child’s violation of the school board’s code of acceptable behavior and discipline adopted under KRS Chapter 158.”
GLSEN’s executive director says hateful education laws are decimating queer students’ mental health. But they still have hope.
KRS Chapter 158 bans trans students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that do not align with their biological sex, as laid out in S.B. 150, which also bans doctors from providing gender-affirming care for trans youth. The ACLU of Kentucky called the legislation “one of the worst anti-trans laws in the nation” when it passed last year.
In essence, the proposed bill could define a trans girl using the girl’s bathroom at school as a form of parental neglect because they were unable to “control” their child.
Activist Allison Chapman brought attention to the bill on X, pointing out that it was “easy to miss because it did not directly call out parents of trans kids and required existing knowledge of S.B.150, which was passed last year.”

Kentucky’s S.B. 150 passed in March after state Republicans overrode a veto by Gov. Andy Beshear (D). In addition to banning gender-affirming care for trans youth and denying use of bathrooms aligning with gender identity in schools, the law conflates and excludes LGBTQ+-related topics and information on sexually transmitted diseases from sex education and prohibits school staff and students from properly addressing trans-identifying minors.
Seven families of transgender youth – represented by the ACLU of Kentucky and the National Center for Lesbian Rights – are currently suing the state over the law’s gender-affirming care ban.
Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place o...
The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website . After the Bureau’s deadline, it will be submitting the questions to the Office of Management and Budget, where they will await approval for testing in the summer. The ACS asks questions about demographic, socioeconomic, and housing-related topics annually. New questions must undergo a rigorous approval and testing p...
Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
