Arkansas passed two of the most brutal and restrictive laws targeting trans kids in the US. Here are the pro-LGBT companies pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars to the lawmakers behind it.
A months-long investigation from @WaltHickey and I:

.@ACLU's Leslie Cooper, just now in conference call:
"Those opposed to LGBTQ equality have for a long time, sought to license to discriminate. They didn't get that in the Masterpiece Cake shop case, and they didn't get it today in the court's decision in Fulton."
Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara Basically, this is as limited as Masterpiece Cakeshop was. It does NOT exempt taxpayer-funded agencies from nondiscrimination law, even though the court could have done that. It's a hidden victory.
The @ACLU says Fulton verdict is actually good news for LGBTQ equality bc the court refused to make the freedom to discriminate a constitutional right. It allows nondiscrimination laws to still apply to taxpayer-funded agencies. aclu.org/press-releases… via @ACLU
This is such a disappointing ruling from SCOTUS in Fulton v. Philadelphia.
This case isn't about religious freedom — it's about discrimination against LGBTQ+ families who want to give foster children a loving home. Congress must respond by immediately passing the Equality Act.
Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara A key point limiting the Fulton decision is SCOTUS finding Philly's contract not generally applicable.
As such, SCOTUS doesn't give a sweeping First Amendment right to reject LGBTQ families, bottling it up the context of the City of Philadelphia's contract.
Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara Breaking: The Supreme Court holds that Philadelphia's refusal to contract with Catholic Social Services, despite its refusal to certify same-sex couples, violates the Free Exercise Clause. There are no dissents; Chief Justice Roberts writes the majority opinion.

For nearly a year, I corresponded with a lesbian asylum seeker who was denied parole 4x. She spent 10 months in an ICE facility, where she was separated from her partner and exposed to COVID almost every day.
But sure, ICE, happy Pride or whatever.

Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara Here's some thing fun! It seems @GIPHY @GIPHYIdentity has deleted @AbortionStories entire page of GIFs that we created of people who have abortions with loving messages for people who have abortions.
We received no notice. No info. Nothing. Our entire account & our GIFs deleted. twitter.com/RBraceySherman…

Liza Minnelli has outlived the Keystone pipeline which has been canceled. This is a monumental victory for climate change activists who feared it would speed up global warming.

ONE HUNDRED NINETY THREE SQUARE FEET to live in Oregon. Your fridge bangs into your bed. This city is not crowded or overpopulated enough to justify the existence of this apartment, even for the “low” cost of $1,000 a month. I can’t.

I can’t remember who suggested this book, but thank you! The way PTSD used to be classified as hysteria is harrowing but learning the history of the condition in this feminist framing feels really helpful. 💜p
So proud of bb @jpbrammer today! We have been coworkers at three (3) different LGBTQ media jobs over the years and frankly, this bxtch is a genius. Some people deserve to be paid just to ✨exist✨ twitter.com/jpbrammer/stat…
NPR put together a primer on how to talk about gender respectfully and why it matters. Here's Mary Emily O’Hara ’12 (@MaryEmilyOHara) on pronouns: "It's really just about letting someone know that you accept their identity. And it's as simple as that." ow.ly/J8Dq50F5SHr
Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara My sweetie is currently trying to make me feel better by insisting that the ginger emoji doesn’t have to work because it is too special and is just there to be worshipped lol 🥰
Gingers are allowed to exist as long as we don’t try to *do* anything, according to the emoji overlords
Another @unicode emoji update, another disappointing day for ginger representation 😞m

Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara "Fulton isn't just about fostercare or even just about anti-LGBTQ discrimination. What's really being argued is whether a business or group that has a government contract and receives taxpayer money can break the law using a personal interpretation of their religion as an excuse" twitter.com/MaryEmilyOHara…
Retweeted by Mary Emily O'Hara It doesn't look like there's a Fulton decision coming from SCOTUS today, so you have plenty of time to brush up on the case using @glaad's handy guide :) twitter.com/MaryEmilyOHara…

The Supreme Court could announce a major decision in this year's biggest LGBTQ case (Fulton v. Philadelphia) as soon as TOMORROW morning. Here's everything you need to know.

This cute box arrived from @EatBobos and it’s nice to see corporate Pride done right! Meaning 100% of proceeds go to @PFLAG and @CenterOnColfax, and queer artists were hired to design packaging. Also, healthy snacks = the way to this hungry nonbinary’s heart 🥰m
This book should be on everyone's Pride month reading list twitter.com/VCarlisle/stat…
So honored to be a part of this roundtable discussion alongside my GLAAD colleagues @RaquelWillis_ @anderfinn, and powerful advocates like @chasestrangio @JazzJennings__ @Layshiac @HHS_ASH @andrayayearwa @sbrinton @AlphonsoDavid @MomofJazz!!!! Iconic.
