Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-03-22

Nebraskan state senator Machaela Cavanaugh has been filibustering a GOP-sponsored ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth now for weeks. She temporarily paused her filibuster to allow a debate on the bill she's trying to stop, and in a powerful showing of solidarity, her Democratic colleagues joined her in the fight to stop this bigoted legislation.
