The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and more than two dozen states ban the widely discredited practice. “Once again, anti-LGBTQ+ forces are just trying to find new ways to advance their failing cause,” said Rahaman. “To the LGBTQ+ youth in Virginia and around the country who have been subjected to this dangerous practice: We will not stop fighting for you.

Lindsey Graham exists https://t.co/pdG7evfFrqJD Vance was a slick talker on the debate stage, obfuscating his views on topics such as reproductive freedom and women in general. And members of the GOP, finally presented with a candidate who doesn’t rant about rally sizes, were overjoyed.
