Pink News reports that hundreds of people from the LGBTQ+ community rallied outside the Kentucky House of Representatives as it debated one of the most ferocious right wing bills aimed at cutting health care for transgender people. Senate Bill 150 has been described by activists as the most oppressive anti-trans law in the United States, banning all gender-affirming medical care for trans people under 18 and requiring doctors to detransition young people in current care. Activists stormed the chamber and were arrested during the debate. But they earned the support of at least one elected representative, with Pamela Stevenson saying “First you hated Black people, then you hated Jews, now you’re hating everybody. So the question is, when it’s the only people left … will you hate yourself?”
