Erin in the Morning, a daily essential read for LGBTQIA people, reports "So often, the loudest voices railing against transgender rights turn out to be projecting their own darkness. The same politicians who claim trans people are a “danger to children” or a “threat to women” are frequently the ones exposed as actual perpetrators of harm. The latest example: Florida Rep. Cory Mills—a fierce advocate of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation—has been hit with a court injunction after his former girlfriend sought protection from him. According to reporting from The Advocate, the court found that she “has reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence.” Christopher Wiggins, writing in the gay magazine the Advocate, says "On Tuesday, Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. issued a final injunction for protection against dating violence against Mills, 45, concluding that the second-term congressman harassed and threatened his former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, the reigning Miss United States and a Florida Republican Party official. The order bars him from contacting her directly or indirectly and forbids him from mentioning her on social media. It remains in effect through January. According to The New York Times, the court found that Langston “has reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence.” The judge rejected Mills’s claim that he no longer possessed intimate videos of Langston, writing that his testimony was “not truthful.” The ruling concluded that Mills caused “substantial emotional distress” and offered “no credible rebuttal” to Langston’s account."
