After the case went to trial, the same judge struck it down, citing its violation of the First Amendment as the reason. Happy Pride! Edited June 3, 2023 by Aston Martin 2

There’s a bunch of Christian nationalists fascists on federal benches appointed by GWB and Trump in Texas for example

The AEA’s “harmful to minors” standard applies to minors of all ages, so it fails to provide fair notice of what is prohibited, and it encourages discriminatory enforcement. The AEA is substantially overbroad because it applies to public property or “anywhere” a minor could be present He struck it down because the bill was so poorly written and obviously discriminatory. Give this same judge an insidious and well-crafted discriminatory bill, he’ll uphold it. Edited June 3, 2023 by Headlock

Looking at how he was voted on, he seems to be a fairly normal judge (probably with a slight hint of right leaning bias, but not extreme). https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1152/vote_115_2_00005.htm Everyone from Bernie to Ted Cruz voted to confirm him.

If U Seek Amy Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 This is how so many right wing bills go lately. I am not saying that none get through at all because they do. But so many are clearly virtue signaling for voters they know won't survive courts and get's people riled up and talking to help build their political profile. My first thought any time I see a bill pass before being annoyed or angry is does this even have a chance of surviving the courts? Honestly half the time I know that stuff won't

Honestly half the time I know that stuff won't On the contrary, a lot of these people think the courts will side with them, especially the SCOTUS. Republicans are not known for having the foresight to think ahead in terms of the consequences of their actions so they do stuff like this thinking nobody can touch them. But other than that, you are right. It is all virtue signaling. None of these bills help anyone, make anyone's life easier, etc. It is all about appealing to the base.
spree Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 i hope this sends a clear signal that trans/gay rights can't be your top priority debate in the general election. It seems they focus more on this then the border or inflation. It's gonna be a losing strategy just like abortion was.
harwee Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 These uglees focus on this when they literally have gun shows out in the open
