"The choice before the industry is not complicated. A warning label on LGBTQ+ content is a request to return to a time when our stories were treated as a liability to be managed rather than ones with an audience to be served."

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.
Personal freedom and opportunity are best served when our legal protections expand access and guarantee safety for everyone. Today’s decision unfairly strips the rights of a few and threatens the ability of every girl and woman to play the sports they love. (3/3)
By allowing sweeping restrictions on a very small number of transgender students who simply wanted to participate in sports alongside their peers, the ruling creates an unnecessarily unfair playing field. (2/3)
The Supreme Court's ruling on transgender youth participating in school sports is at odds with the fundamental principles of fairness, freedom, and family that define our country and our communities. (1/3)
