"A federal judge in Texas has ruled that a provision of the Affordable Care Act that mandates free coverage of certain drugs that prevent HIV infections violate the religious beliefs of a Christian-owned company."

It’s just the beginning. Trump’s SC choices will have a lasting, negative effect on gay men.

Non-profits will have to pick up the slack, unfortunately. This is unacceptable.

This is also going after straight people too. They don't want to protect anyone who has sex outside of marriage.
Birth control will be next.

Who is the plaintiff in this?
The state of Texas? They are not a party here.

The right wingers are declaring war on everyone who isn't straight, white and male.
Vote in November.

Federal judge Jonathan Mitchell is also one of those who helped draft Texas’s Senate Bill 8, the restrictive 2021 abortion law that turned anyone who was so inclined into bounty hunters, able to sue anybody they believed may have been involved with the abortion procedure.
He's a 2007 Dubya appointee.

It's already happened with birth control. SCOTUS said companies with a religious basis do not have to provide it to employees

The person who brought the case is the same person who created the bounty law for abortions in Texas (If you turn in someone who had an abortion, you get a cash prize). He has said publicly that he will use that sort of law to go against gay marriage.
He is first trying to find ways to stop anything that could be beneficial to gays.

The Plaintiff went judge shopping of course. This judge had ruled previously that all of ACA was unconstitutional. That went up to SCOTUS. This will likely go to SCOTUS too

Heads up to the gay Republicans:
It wasn't "woke" hippies or trans people who did this. It was fundie, right-wing Evangelical shitheads

EXACTLY! But the GOP will twist it to take the blame away from its base.
"The woke climate made the judge do it!"
