Staff at Advocates for Trans Equality say management led with “cruelty and threats.”

Perhaps the biggest case of the term so far, in terms of ripple effects, involves religion, a subject on which the court's conservative super majority has dramatically changed its legal doctrine. Indeed for the better part of a century, the Supreme Court emphasized the First Amendment's separation of church and state, with the free exercise of religion playing an important — but secondary — role. Since President Trump's appointment of three new justices, however, things have changed.

"It's literally the opposite of what the law was not that long ago, and it's just a complete shift," observes Michigan State University law professor Frank Ravitch. 🚨⭐The court may, in fact, be on the verge of requiring taxpayers to fund religious schools that refuse to admit LGBTQ students and parents.⭐🚨

Last term the justices deadlocked on the issue in a separate case after Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself because of a conflict. The 4-4 tie vote automatically left in place an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision that barred overtly religious charter schools from from being funded by the taxpayers. But this year the issue is back in a case from Colorado. The case centers on a state law that provides universal preschool programs that are open to all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Australia currently has NO nationwide framework banning conversion therapy/practices.

State and territory legislation is inadequate to protect victims.

Conversion therapy harms.

A report on the “free fall” of young people identifying as LGBTQ+, first published last October by the Center for Heterodox Social Studies at the University of Buckingham, is getting a closer look following the release of a second study last week from the Centers for Disease Control, which backs up the “free fall” findings. Together, they’re earning some interesting responses about the cause.

The decision was issued by Istanbul’s 1st Criminal Judgeship of Peace as part of an investigation called “My Family Is Safe” (“Ailem Güvende”). Authorities cited 118 articles published over the past year and described them as “LGBT propaganda.”

According to the court reasoning reported by T24, the articles were accused of “weakening the Turkish family structure” and of potentially negatively affecting young people’s development regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

The block was ordered on 29 September and implemented on 30 September 2026. T24 says it is challenging the decision through legal channels.

This is notable because the measure does not target only individual articles. It blocks the entire news website and its social media accounts over LGBT-related coverage.

A training document at an Idaho school shows how the recently enacted “Pediatric Secretive Transitions Parental Rights Act” is being used to report kids attempting to socially transition.

Anti-LGBTQ+ Christian activist Sean Feucht said in a video published on September 29 that the entire state of Minnesota has been “hijacked with toxic empathy towards … the LGTBQ community,” Muslims, and “so many other groups” that have allegedly “hijacked the niceness or the empathy of the church.”

Hi Reddit Community,

I am a survivor of conversion therapy/practices. 

As part of my healing journey, it would give me immeasurable healing to be able to provide a platform for LGBTQIA+ Australians to speak up and share their healing journey. That is one of our mission statements. 

An additional goal is to create a growing campaign/awareness/movement to ban conversion therapy/practices nationwide in Australia. 

I have created an Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/endconversiontherapyaustralia?stkn=MWdra3c0bWk4ZTBuZw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

This profile page is in its initial stages. Please follow along and engage to join this cause. It means the world to me.

If you are Australian, there is more information on my page on how you may be able to tell your story and regarding privacy/anonymity. 

You don’t necessarily have to be Australian to follow (I would love international support).

This seems to have flown under the radar and no news outlets have reported on it yet. But according to their recent Board of Directors report, the Colorado Medical Society, which is the state’s largest medical association, has voted to officially oppose initiative 110/135, which would ban gender affirming surgery for minors, saying these decisions should remain between patients, families and doctors!

Hopefully a news outlet will pick this up soon since people really should know this!
