North Dakota's Anti-LGBTQ Legislation On The Rise.
North Dakota's Legislature passed 10 bills on Tuesday that target the state's LGBTQ community, setting a single-day record for such legislation, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Eight of the bills are headed to Gov. Doug Burgum for either a signature or a veto. The bills include a broad measure that would ban "adult-oriented performances" on public property or in front of minors, which could restrict many forms of drag. Some of the bills passed with veto-proof majorities, including one that would restrict gender-affirming medical care for minors and another that would ban transgender students in public and private K-12 schools and colleges from playing sports on school teams that align with their gender identities.
