Some 30 years ago a fellow minister and myself dressed up in drag and lip synced a couple of songs for a church party...we had a standing ovation. I guess now we would get kicked out of the SBC or whatever group we might have belonged to...
Priest: My conversion on LGBTQ rights tells an important story
Vanderbilt University Medical Center under federal investigation for allegedly sharing transgender health records
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center is under scrutiny in a federal civil rights investigation over the alleged unauthorized release of transgender patients’ medical records to the Tennessee attorney general, the Nashville-based hospital system told CNN in a statement.
“We have been contacted by and are working with the Office of Civil Rights,”
Last month, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center was sued by two people who claim they were among more than 100 current and former patients whose records were turned over to the Tennessee attorney general earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed in the Davidson County Chancery Court.
The plaintiffs allege that Vanderbilt turned over non-anonymized medical records to the state without the patients’ knowledge, and that the state’s request for information was part of an effort “negatively targeting the transgender community,” according to the complaint.
In a statement to CNN in response to the lawsuit, Howser said, “Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) received valid requests from the Office of the Tennessee Attorney General as part of its investigation which sought information about transgender care at VUMC. The Tennessee Attorney General has legal authority in an investigation to require that VUMC provide complete copies of patient medical records that are relevant to that investigation, and VUMC was obligated to do so. VUMC complies with all health care privacy and security requirements established under both Federal and Tennessee law, including but not limited to HIPAA.”

Well, this would certainly seem to violate federal law.
And if there is a conflict you take it to court - don't just hand the records over to the inquisition.

Opinion: Saying ‘gay’ in Forsyth schools cancels children’s author
A Forsyth County principal sent an apology to parents this week after an author used the word “gay” in a presentation about the backstory of who created Batman.
www.ajc.com
Forsyth County Schools raised the ante this week in what has become a race to regression in Georgia around LGBTQ issues. The principal of Sharon Elementary School in Suwanee sent an apology — sanctioned by the superintendent — to parents about a children’s author who used the word “gay” in a presentation about the history of the Batman character on Monday.
Marc Tyler Nobleman, author of “Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman,” was hired to speak at three Forsyth County elementary schools this week. The response of school leaders and Nobleman’s outrage over the apology letter ended up cutting those appearances short.
Paywall. Can you tell us exactly what this guy said that caused the outrage?referring to these efforts as "don't say gay" is just oversensitive hyperbole and creating strawmen to avoid protecting children.wait, let me try that again

One of Louisiana’s only pediatric cardiologists has left the state over anti-LGBTQ legislation
But this past spring the Republican-led state legislature passed a series of controversial bills that targeted the LGBTQ community.
That’s when Kleinmahon said he started having difficult conversations with his family about leaving the home they love. When he explained to his six-year-old daughter that their family had no choice but to leave New Orleans, she said, “We do have a choice, just one of them isn’t a good one.”
The Kleinmahons join other LGBTQ families who are also facing the same choice. They say they no longer feel safe or welcomed in states that have passed laws targeting their community. Many have made the difficult decision to leave.
In 2023, more than 525 anti-LGBTQ bills were passed in 41 states, according to the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that advocates for the LGBTQ community. Of those bills, more than 220 explicitly targeted transgender people. As of June, 77 anti-LGBTQ bills had been signed into law.
Many of the laws enacted have been met with legal challenges from advocacy groups and LGBTQ families. Some have been blocked by judges while the legal battles play out in court.
In Louisiana, Kleinmahon said he lobbied against the laws, calling state lawmakers and writing letters to the state’s senate education committee. But he reached a breaking point when Republican state lawmakers walked out of a senate education committee meeting as opponents of what critics call a “Don’t Say Gay” bill were discussing why it was harmful.
“It really showed that they just don’t care,” Kleinmahon told CNN. “They are not going to support our children; they are not going to support our family. And although we love New Orleans and we love Louisiana with all of our hearts, we can’t raise our children in this environment.”

It's too bad. The kids of LA don't deserve what the adults are doing to them.
