LGBT activist magazine The Advocate ran a surprisingly encouraging story this weekend headlined, “
Maine Democrats bail on bill making state sanctuary for trans people amid far-right uproar.”
Maine’s LD1735 was described as a “trans sanctuary bill;” it was a trans activist’s dream come true. The bill would have let kids seek trans “medical care” without parental permission or even notice, and worse, it would have authorized state courts to remove parental custody if parents wouldn’t agree to give their kids hormones or castration procedures.
Just read this one sentence from the bill’s summary:
The language about “taking jurisdiction” would also have allowed state courts to take control of kids
from other states, a prospect delighting Pied Piper trans activists who salivated at the thought of luring kids from Florida to Maine for trans medical experiments. In a Daily Mail article, Republican state Representative David Haggan described the bill in alarming terms, saying, “This bill authorizes the kidnapping and massacring of children from other states without parental consent.”
The bill appeared to be headed for approval on greased skids. But last Wednesday, Libs of Tik Tok highlighted the bill, which was then up for a second committee vote. Libs published to her 2.8 million follower all the names and email addresses for the committee members.
There was, apparently, a vigorous response.
According to the Advocate, after Libs shined her spotlight on the vote, the Democrat-majority, bipartisan Judiciary Committee reversed course and unanimously voted (12-0) to table the bill. Democrats on the committee who had previously supported the proposed law now complained that “unnecessary language” had been added.
Maine’s parents have a lot of things to be thankful for; Libs of Tik Tok is one of them.
The media's dumbest narrative yet about the weekend's drone attack; pro- trans bill craters in Maine; another SADS vaccine pol; anti-trans bill success in Utah; video to kick your day off right; more.
