"Democrat Senator to Headline LGBT Luncheon Celebrating Advocates of Child Gender Transitioning"
Wisconsin Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay U.S. senator, is set to be honored and speak at an LGBTQ+ luncheon organized by the Human Rights Campaign. The event will feature transgender activists who have advocated for children's access to puberty blockers and against restrictions on transgender individuals' bathroom use. Baldwin's appearance comes as she faces re-election in 2024 and has drawn criticism for speaking alongside advocates with controversial stances on transgender bills and issues.
