Right now, parents in two different states are facing significant legal battles concerning parental rights.  In Montana, the Kolstad family faces a custody battle with the state over their gender-dysphoric daughter, Jennifer.

The state had Jennifer removed from her home in response. Criticism has been directed at Montana Governor Greg Gianforte for the state's intervention and a subsequent gag order on the family. In Texas, Senate Bill 14 seeks to prevent the type [...]

2024-02-13T22:18:58+00:00

Loe v.
