On Friday night, May 1, the Connecticut House of Representatives voted, in part, to spend state resources to form a “task force” to study why “bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or allied persons” struggle with fertility. Since there is little confusion among adults about the “why,” what will really be “studied” is a way to make Connecticut taxpayers pay for more fertility treatments for people who are otherwise fertile, but don’t engage in procreative sex.
You can see how your legislators, including many Republicans, voted below. See who your legislators are here. We will move now to try to stop Amendment A to HB 5482 as it heads to the Senate.
Join us in the Senate Gallery this week and wear FIC’s t-shirts to stop HB 5482 and 5374 (see below). Stop by FIC’s office for your free t-shirt, by contacting [email protected].
A victory against dangerous expansion of “gender affirming care.”
The good news is that this amendment was a substitute for a worse bill to provide minors with a stockpile of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. This original bill was dangerous and FIC Action and several Connecticut parents of trans-identified youth lobbied against this bill and it is a victory that the original underlying bill has likely been defeated.
House also voted to raise insurance premiums so single men can have access to newborns.
This HB 5482 vote comes on the heels of another disappointing vote last week to raise insurance premiums on families to subsidize treatments that procure babies for single men– some of whom try to nurse their newborns with their man-boobs, their “moobs” grown with synthetic hormones. Without a mother or even another partner around, who is to help stop a purchased newborn from being illegally used for sexual gratification of a male fetish called erotic lactation?
Maybe it is rare, but the stakes are very high for a surrogate newborn (CT is a hot spot for surrogacy). Our state should never ask families to subsidize single men accessing newborns. This bill has moved on to the Senate and we have an action alert asking State Senators to oppose HB 5374. FIC testified against this bill. Many legislators voted in favor of this bill and you can see their votes below. See who your legislators are here.
Will these bad bills end up in budget bill?
These bills may yet pass the Senate or be stuffed into a budget bill. Called “rats”, legislative leadership has regularly slid gender and other bad bills into the budget during the last nights of the legislative session. When this tactic is used, proper debate on a bill cannot be heard and legislators try to deflect the reasons for their vote in an election year. You’ll remember that is how Senate Leadership, including Senator Bob Duff, were able to ram through last year’s library bill. We need you as a presence against this wholly undemocratic subversion of our revered legislative process and hold your legislators accountable. Everyone is welcome to join us in the Senate Gallery this week and wear FIC’s t-shirts to stop HB 5482 and 5374 (see below). Stop by FIC’s office for your free t-shirt, by contacting [email protected].
We need you to run for office – even if you think you can’t win.
Unfortunately, our legislature is completely lopsided with one party having a supermajority. This is unhealthy for both parties and allows extremists to control what is proposed, discussed and ultimately signed by our Governor. The only way to change this is for Christians and people of good will to run for office and to support others who run for office. It may seem counter-intuitive, but simply running for office can be a “WIN” for our state.
Diversity of political parties and campaigns is the balm to cure bad proposals including tampons in boys bathrooms, shielding gender doctors from lawsuits by minors in other states, and preventing parents from even objecting to porny books in school libraries.
This Friday is the last in a series of zoom meetings with legislators to learn what it is like run for office, step-by-step what you can do to run for office in Connecticut, and what it is like to be a legislator. Please REGISTER HERE and join us this Friday night, May 8 at 7:30PM.
