"Alabama Republicans' Transphobic Campaign Against Space Camp Employee"

Three Republican Alabama officials are calling for the removal of a transgender employee at Space Camp, expressing concern about potential harm to children. The backlash began after a father's social media post, which was then shared by a far-right account, alleging inappropriate behavior by the employee. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is investigating the situation, while a trans advocacy group condemned the conservatives' comments as baseless and harmful. Laws protect LGBTQ people from employment discrimination, but Alabama is considering bills targeting LGBTQ individuals.
