The Montana Supreme Court upheld a temporary injunction blocking the state from enforcing its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.The unanimous ruling is historic, marking the first time that a state Supreme Court has found that a ban on gender-affirming care is likely unconstitutional.On December 11, the court ruled that SB 99, a 2023 law categorically banning all transition-related medical interventions on minors, violates the Montana State Constitution’s privacy clause, which prohibits the government from interfering with private medical decisions.With the law blocked, transgender youth will still be able to access medical treatments for gender dysphoria — provided that their personal care physician does not refuse transgender patients due to intimidation or fear of being prosecuted.Several transgender teens, their families, and two medical providers filed suit last year to block the law, arguing that it violated the Montana constitution’s guarantee of medical privacy.

sued Love in April 2022, saying he had defamed them in remarks he made during a hearing on a bill he introduced calling for libraries to conduct background checks on employees and volunteers.The performers contended that the bill — which Love cast as an effort to protect children from being in proximity to sex offenders — was an attempt to block Drag Queen Story Hour events from taking place. Love sought to justify introducing the bill by claiming that “a convicted sex offender” had hosted the Drag Queen Teen Time program in Nashua, N.H., in 2019, comments widely understood to be referring to Champion.He alleged that another performer, understood to be referring to McMahon, had been seen “rubbing butts with children” at a similar event in Derry, N.H.Love repeated his accusations multiple times during that month, including making remarks opposing drag-related events at a Derry Town Council meeting on February 15, 2022, where he introduced himself as a state representative, imploring lawmakers to “leave the kids alone” and “let them grow up normal” by preventing them from being exposed to LGBTQ-related content.According to the lawsuit, Love also told a reporter from Manchester Ink Link that he “hope[d] to God” that Champion wasn’t a sex offender, but claimed to have read that Champion was convicted of sex offenses in a newspaper — though he couldn’t remember which one.“I don’t know if it was a Boston Herald or the Union Leader or what,” Love said at the time.

she tried to burn down her Manhattan apartment in 2019 to land a gig on “The Real Housewives of New York.”Abitbol denied this and responded by suing Rice for defamation.However, in a decision on July 9, a New York County Supreme Court judge dismissed the case and ruled that Abitbol, 52, must pay all of Rice’s legal fees.“There is ample evidence of Plaintiff attempting to gain notoriety from the fire by talking about it on talk shows and publicizing the fire on her Instagram,” a ruling seen by The Post stated.“Plaintiff was also featured in a New York Page Six article just three months prior to the fire as being someone who was ‘obsessed’ with getting on ‘Real Housewives of New York’ and had apparently failed four auditions.”As Abitbol previously told The Post, on the morning of Nov. 9, 2019, she lit a sage candle for morning meditation in the dining room of her and Cone’s four-bedroom apartment in Lincoln Square.As she said her prayers, Abitbol explained, the candle went up in flames, setting off the building’s sprinklers.The NYPD and FDNY were called “immediately” to the incident, which was later ruled an accident, Abitbol said.

lower court’s ruling that the AEA was an unconstitutional infringement on performers’ First Amendment rights.The judges also lifted an injunction that prohibited local authorities in Shelby County — which encompasses the city of Memphis and its suburbs — from enforcing the law Writing for the court, Nalbandian found that the Memphis-based LGBTQ theater company, Friends of George’s (FOG), lacked legal standing to sue over the law, because its “drag-centric performances, comedy sketches, and plays” did not meet specific criteria under Tennessee law to be considered “harmful to minors.”As a result, he argued, the theater company failed to prove it was at risk of potential future prosecution and lacked standing to bring the lawsuit.Nalbandian and Siler declined to address whether the law’s content violated the First Amendment.But Circuit Judge Andre Mathis, a Biden appointee, noted in a dissenting opinion that the majority’s ruling conflicts with both past 6th Circuit precedent, as well as Supreme Court precedent.Mathis argued that Friends of George’s had standing to sue because the content of their skits might be considered “adult-oriented performances.”And because the theater where the troupe performs does not distinguish between adult and child ticket holders, and does not card all patrons, a handful of minors could end up seeing the shows — thus violating the law, and making the theater company subject to prosecution.Mathis found that the AEA is not simply a “time, place, or manner restriction” that might otherwise be considered reasonable, but rather a content-based restriction targeting shows that lawmakers may personally deem offensive or objectionable — a clear violation of the First Amendment.Tennessee Attorney

The Associated Press.Henley maintained the 100 pages were stolen from him, and vowed to pursue legal action in March when his criminal case against three men attempting to sell the developmental lyrics was dropped by a New York court.“These 100 pages of personal lyric sheets belong to Mr. Henley and his family, and he has never authorized defendants or anyone else to peddle them for profit,” Henley’s lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, said.Glenn Horowitz, Craig Inciardi and Edward Kosinski, were initially charged with conspiracy in the fourth degree for allegedly attempting to sell manuscripts which included “developmental lyrics to the Eagles song ‘Hotel California,'” according to the original indictment filed by the New York District Attorney’s office in 2022.The handwritten pages remain in the custody of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, according to the new lawsuit.In March, prosecutors dropped the criminal case mid-trial citing newly available emails that defense lawyers said raised questions about the trial’s fairness.

Miami Herald that “[p]reparations for a suit in federal court are well underway.”“My civil liberties are not up for debate,” he said of his intention to not only sue Miami Beach Gay Pride, but the city of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County, which are co-sponsoring the Pride parade.Kent Harrison Robbins, an attorney for Basabe, wrote to Horwich warning him that excluding Basabe from participating in the parade “would be willfully, knowingly, and intentionally abridging his First Amendment right to free speech and to peaceably assembly on a public street.”“Legal precedents from the federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court, have ruled that a concern that there may be physical opposition to [Basabe] is not a legal justification for violating his speech and assembly rights,” Robbins wrote in the letter. “Basabe must be allowed to participate in The Pride Parade and he must be notified immediately through my offices that he will be allowed to do so without any impediments.”Robbins argued that because city and county jurisdictions are among the sponsors of the parade, it doesn’t constitute a private event that would allow for Basabe’s exclusion.
