Republicans Issue New Government Shutdown Threat Over Trans People
www.erininthemorning.com
On Wednesday, the House Freedom Caucus issued a letter indicating that the government may shut down if anti-trans polices are not included.

I will be calling my representatives and letting them know that I would sooner see the government shutdown than see any of these proposals become law.

    A ban on pride flags? Really? You’re scared of some fabric or colors?

    Grow up and mind your damn business. We’re just trying to live our own lives. Fuck

      Where do you see a ban on pride flags? I read the letter published by the House Freedom Caucus and didn’t see mention of flags.

        It doesn’t appear in the letter, but is mentioned in the article. The letter also states that there are “more” policies that need to be defunded.

        These policies encompass bans on pride flags, prohibitions on insurance coverage, restrictions on DEI programs, and even the defunding of children’s hospitals that offer gender-affirming care.
