Coverage from KSTP (3.7.22): Groups rally at Capitol to support transgender children
“If you just look at the bill, it might look benign, but if you actually listen to the people who are arguing for the bill, the things they were saying were really anti-trans and anti-gay.”
– Jess Braverman, Gender Justice Legal Director
