Kansas lawmakers voted Tuesday to send a bill to the governor’s desk preventing transgender individuals from changing their name on public documents—like driver’s licenses and birth certificates—or using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

Democratic. Gov. Laura Kelly is expected to veto the legislation, but the Kansas Senate approved it by a margin of 28-12, clearing the bar needed to override her office by one vote.

As the Kansas House met to consider the legislation last week, more than 200 people rallied outside the State Capitol to protest it. “We are in a fight for our lives,” an organizer there said, according to. A trans teenager told the Associated Press: “I am what they are scared of. I am a human being and I deserve to be treated as such, and I deserve to be happy. I shouldn’t have to argue for this.

Transgender bathroom bill approved in Kansas; veto expectedA Kansas bill that would block transgender people from using public bathrooms associated with their gender identities has cleared the Republican-controlled Legislature. The state Senate voted 2812 on Tuesday with one vote more than a two-thirds majority that would be needed to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s expected veto. The bill is among several hundred measures aimed at rolling back LGBTQ rights pursued by Republicans this year across the U.S. The measure deals with bathrooms, locker rooms and other facilities. It also would prevent transgender people from changing their driver’s licenses. The Senate voted xx-xx to approve the House's version of the bill. Supporters were close in both chambers to the two-thirds majority needed to override any veto. Politicians wasting time on this nonsense.

Trump case spotlights New York rule barring cameras in courtTrump's arraignment will draw more cameras than perhaps any case in New York history — just likely not in the courtroom. The case highlights how NY has one of the nation’s most restrictive laws banning cameras and broadcasts in court in most proceedings. Trump is ready to do battle! I think they need to make an exception in this case, since every day after court you KNOW Trump will be on national news lying about what happened in court that day. Because they they have the most historical active elected party affiliated prosecutors who have gone on to higher office (i.e. governor)...perverse...i was amazed by that but americans maybe not...those outside america may not know how it worksvand may be surprised by that fact.
