💃 Americans Celebrating Recent Court Victories & Upholding Free Speech Rights!

I am writing to you again to share the inspiring news of recent court victories in Indiana, Tennessee, and West Virginia that underscore the importance of upholding the rights of transgender Americans and protecting free speech, including the art and performance of drag. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Indiana ruled against misgendering in schools, recognizing the harmful impact on transgender students. In Tennessee, a federal judge blocked a drag ban, citing likely unconstitutionality and defending the right to artistic expression. Additionally, the Supreme Court's decision not to reinstate a sports ban in West Virginia ensures that a young transgender athlete can continue participating. Both of these rulings do miracles in protect cisgender, transgender, and intersex students alike from discrimination, bullying, and invasive scrutiny. These rulings are a testament to the judiciary's power in safeguarding the rights of marginalized communities. Drag, as an art form, is not inherently sexual or inappropriate—it is a valid form of self-expression deserving of protection under the American right to free speech. In light of these victories, I urge you to support the dismissal of all bans on drag and to stand firm in defending our constitutional values. As a meaningful gesture of support for freedom of expression, I encourage you and your peers to wear lavender, a color associated with drag in LGBTQ+ history, especially during transgender holidays (March 31th & Nov 20th), on International Drag Day (July 16th), and Pride events every June. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Let us continue to embrace diversity and respect all forms of self-expression in our society.
