BREAKING: The NH Supreme Court just affirmed a lower court ruling that a Manchester school district policy in support of transgender students is in line with state and federal constitutional requirements and state and federal law. #nhpolitics
BREAKING: The district court just ruled that HB 1205 (the transgender sports ban) likely violates title IX and the constitution and ordered that our client, Parker Tirrell, can play on her soccer team while the case moves forward. #nhpolitics
We are so grateful our friends are suing over this discriminatory law that prevents girls like Parker and Iris from finding belonging with other girls! #NHPolitics
Proponents said the new law, which bars transgender girls from girls' school sports in N.H., would preserve fairness and safety. But attorney @ChrisErchull of @GLADLaw said it's "cruel and unnecessary" and legally unjustifiable. Lawsuit filed: https://t.co/87gK5vMrbN @Globe_NH
N.H. House Bill 1312 — which goes into effect Sept. 19 — will require school district staff to notify parents at least two weeks in advance of any “instruction or program of” sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or gender expression.
Shame on @GovChrisSununu for signing an lgbtq censorship bill, a ban on trans girls participating in sports with other girls, and a healthcare ban second-guessing decisions between parents, patients, and their doctors. #NHPolitics
All of these bills discriminate against transgender people, and @GovChrisSununu must veto them all. Trans people need the opportunity to find belonging and access best-practice medical care free from interference from politicians. #NHPolitics
Asked by reporters today about a trio of bills involving gender identity issues headed to his desk (HB 396, HB 1205, HB 619) @GovChrisSununu says he hasn't made his mind up re: how he will act, but does share some general thoughts about each piece of legislation #NHPolitics#WMUR
Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate have passed four bills this year that would affect LGBTQ people in the state. Now, an intense advocacy campaign is under way to persuade Gov. Sununu to veto the measures. From @edewittnh#NHPolitics https://t.co/08E84JAZWW
@MiraLazine Thanks for sharing! More context on HB 1660- the NH Senate tabled it on a voice vote earlier today, we hear because they thought it was duplicative to HB 619.
Senator Debra Altschiller said there are just five transgender student athletes across New Hampshire to whom this sports bill would apply.
“Those five girls are not a threat,” she said. “They are the threatened.”

Read the bill: A student athlete whose birth certificate "does not appear to be" original/unamended would have to provide unspecified "other evidence" of their sex, or be barred from girls' school sports. https://t.co/aeftujwnVC
🚨Breaking🚨The NH State Senate just sent 3 anti-LGBTQ bills to @GovChrisSununu���s desk. Call him today to urge him to veto these discriminatory bills! HB 1205, HB 1312, and HB 619. @ProgressNH #NHPolitics
When he signed the 2018 nondiscrimination bill to protect trans people, NHIAA had been including trans athletes for 3 years. Recognize this panic for what it it is - manufactured exploitation of unfamiliarity with trans kids/ sports, just like the bathroom predator myth and VETO!
Make @GovChrisSununu’s phone ring off the hook. (603-271-2121). He must veto. Trans girls are girls, and have been welcomed to participate in middle and high school sports since 2015 in NH. Say no to fearmongering and government overreach! #NHPolitics
BREAKING: The NH Senate just passed HB 1205, a trans-exclusionary sports ban that would prohibit trans Granite Staters from participating on sports teams that align with their gender identity in grades 5-12. The bill now goes to Gov. Sununu where it could become law. #nhpolitics
BREAKING: The NH Senate just passed HB 1312, a classroom censorship bill targeting teaching LGBTQ+ and gender issues. The bill now goes to Gov. Sununu where it could become law. #nhpolitics
Republicans in the NH legislature have recently pushed a number of bills seeking to undermine the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ Granite Staters and we must fight back.
I stand with advocates fighting against these deeply harmful bills. This is not who we are. #NHPolitics
