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.
Louisiana’s just beginning the “find out” phase, after fucking around and passing hateful, discriminatory bills.
The people will find out, the fucks actually responsible for this will get the best treatments possible world wide.
The people voted them into power so they can deal with the consequences. I know, not everyone voted for them, but then again, not everyone voted. Maybe the people will make different choices after suffering the consequences of their voting decisions. If they anger enough of the voter base, there could be some change. Or maybe Louisiana will become Mississippi 2, Electric Boogaloo.
They aren’t finding out anything. These bills are having the desired and intended effect.
They aren’t going to find out. All the people are going to learn is that it is “ThE wOkE LeFt” causing all of these problems with their radical agenda.
Soon they’ll find themselves crossing state lines for life saving procedures, just like women needing life saving abortions already do in their states.
And they will be angry at the doctors being so far way instead of realizing the true root of the problem.
Unfortunately you’re definitely right, they’re gonna be mad that all the doctors were ‘indoctrinated’ into not agreeing with trans genocide and forced births
And I bet in some cases they’ll end up running afoul of laws passed to stop people from crossing state lines for abortions.

Until they pass a law preventing the movement of people to other areas for healthcare because it’s too woke or something. We simply can’t have people getting liberal heart transplants, it’s against the freedom…of…the right to…bear freeze peach…I dunno
Interstate commerce is pretty much the reason the federal government exists, if states start seriously restricting interstate travel then the feds will have to step in. A few abortions isn’t enough to warrant a federal response yet but stopping a good portion of interstate medical care might gets the feds involved
You really think the current SCOTUS is going to give a fuck?
The kids might die of undiagnosed heart conditions, but at LEAST they won’t be Trans-Gay!! (disclaimer)
That’d be considered a win for a lot of these people. They would rather their young children die of easily preventable illnesses then find out that they’re gay.
But if they are gay, then they should also be dead! Conservatives: Dead kids=gud 👍🏾 😊
They’re fine with the kids dying so long as the kids aren’t gay.
So the work around to getting abortion legalized again is to tell them the fetus’ are gay? Its so simple it may just work.
Also fine with kids being massacred in schools as long as they can keep their AR-15s. No biggie…

Kleinmahon said he was also receiving hate mail at his job from people condemning him for being gay and saying he needed to “find Jesus.”
Oh, ffs. Religious types are the worst.
A pediatric cardiologist was recently needed to save the life of my friend’s 8 month old daughter, hopefully Louisiana can figure their shit out and reverse these laws so that this man and others like him feel safe in that state again. Unfortunately these backwards ass laws will likely cause the deaths of many
What exactly did the legislation do?
A few are mentioned in the article:
“Louisiana Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards vetoed three bills, including one that banned gender-affirming care for most transgender minors, and HB 466, the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill that prohibited teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in class”
