There’s a new safe haven for those who identify as transgender in the Bay State, after Worcester officially became a sanctuary city for that community during a lengthy city council meeting on Tuesday night. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news…

Trump's directive to pause federal aid is a reckless abuse of power.
Massachusetts residents rely on billions of dollars in federal funds daily for their health and child care, food and the roads we drive on.
This will hurt families. We're exploring prompt action to stop it.

To every transgender child and their family, let me be clear: I am fighting for you, and I will never stop fighting for you.

The Affordable Homes Act is the biggest housing investment Massachusetts has ever seen — and it’s a BFD that @MassGovernor just signed it into law.
Thanks to our @MA_EOHLC team and the legislators, advocates and community members who made it happen!

Pretty freaking huge error here.
An editor's note from the Boston Globe. trib.al/eLyNLqM

ALT An editor's note from the Boston Globe: A significant error was made in a headline on a story in Friday’s print sports section about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif incorrectly describing her as transgender. She is not. Additionally, our initial correction of this error neglected to note that she was born female. We recognize the magnitude of this mistake and have corrected it in the epaper, the electronic version of the printed Globe. This editing lapse is regretful and unacceptable and we apologize to Khelif, to Associated Press writer Greg Beacham, and to you, our readers.

"Less than 2% of U.S. adults are trans or nonbinary, yet nearly 24% of all transgender adults report that they have experienced Long Covid. Bisexual adults report Long Covid cases at the same percentage rate (24%)."

It was an honor to be joined by so many leaders at today's LGBTQ+ Community Convening in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility. Your work is essential in the fight for access to gender-affirming care and protections for the Transgender and Nonbinary community.

With only three members left, another @Moms4Liberty “chapter” collapses.
This political operation cooked up in a right-wing think-tank is backfiring.
Their cruelty and bigotry has unleashed a real movement by parents to repair the damage to their kids schools.
A Pennsylvania chapter of Moms for Liberty dwindled from 200 members to three, and decided to disband. No one stepped up to take over.

Families can be made in different kinds of ways – our state’s parentage laws should reflect that.
It's long past time we pass legislation to ensure equal access to parentage protections for LGBTQ+ families.
