Reminder: It's ALWAYS a good day to give to @outfrontmn.bsky.social , who are Minnesota's largest LGBTQIA+ advocacy org. They need funding in order to face everything ahead of us all—regardless of elections/ political climate. Funds are tough to generate when work is accumulating & needs to expand.

This remains a challenging time for our LGBTQ+ communities, but here in Minnesota, we are proud of our history of inclusion and we are going to keep working hard to protect the rights of students and athletes–no matter what.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

There are real issues facing women and girls in sports and schools. Trans people aren’t one of them. Together, Minnesotans can continue to lift up and celebrate our athletes while digging in on the real work and investments needed to see them succeed–no matter who they are.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The MN Human Rights Act has provided clear and comprehensive protections for LGBTQ+ students and athletes since 1993. Title IX was passed to promote inclusion, not limit it. While some push a narrow vision of what it, Minnesota has shown the world that inclusion is not a zero-sum game.

161

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It’s important for our community to know that Minnesota’s strong protections in education and on the playing field are based in our laws here in the state–not on any administration’s interpretation of Title IX. Our essential protections remain in place.

141

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The timing may be coincidental, but the broader effort to undermine the rights and protections of LGBTQ+ students is ongoing. We know that for many members of our LGBTQ+ community these actions may raise concerns.

141

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Today, there were two hearings in federal court about Minnesota’s trans-inclusive sports policies. At the same time, the US Department of Education announced the formal rollback of 2024 Biden-era Title IX rules that included protections for LGBTQ+ students.

This series is the first part of an ongoing project. We hope to share these stories across the state, and we invite YOU to be a part of this work. With our trans community facing attacks, your stories are powerful tools to help build awareness of joy, resilience, and strength.

This project is about honoring folks while they’re here, spotlighting the daily acts of resistance and care that often go unseen, and documenting what joy looks like for Queer and Trans people in this moment. All eight interviews are available to watch NOW—but this is just the beginning.

But suicide prevention isn't just one thing. It's taking care to use correct names and pronouns, helping LGBTQ+ youth feel seen and heard, lending a listening ear. Suicide prevention is often in the small choices we take every day to be more kind to one another.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

For the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, there are many factors that affect mental health–and access to gender affirming care is one of the largest. We have and will continue to work tirelessly to codify and maintain the rights and protections our community has in Minnesota, no matter what.

September is Suicide Prevention Month: a time to raise awareness and break down barriers that often prevent people from getting the help they need.

In Minnesota, we believe in protecting health care and the freedom to make choices about our bodies, lives, and futures. To all our community members–especially our trans youth and families: we are here to support you and to advocate for a world where you are valued and can get the care you need.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

This is an expected, but disappointing, move that could change how the federal government reimburses states. But it does not change the law–and it doesn’t change that this is good, evidence-based, health care.

151

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Even if this rule goes into effect it would not change the fact that: 🟣 Gender affirming care remains legal and protected for all Minnesotans. 🟣Minnesota providers can and must continue to offer this critical care under our laws.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yesterday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) offered their final rule on Medicaid reimbursement for youth gender affirming care. The rule is proposed for October 13, 2026–but will be challenged in court.

There’s nothing fair about blanket bans on trans athletes; and they don’t just affect trans people. They demand invasive and unnecessary sex-verifcation tests and invite scrutiny about everyone who plays - they’re rooted in stereotypes, not science. We must make sure they don’t pass here. 5/X

That means that transgender athletes living in states with bans will be barred from the opportunities their peers have to fully participate in athletics. In states, like Minnesota, with inclusive policies, transgender athletes can continue to play. 2/X

PASSED: SF4706 and SF4707 Today, the MN Senate heard two bills in the Health and Human Services Committee that will continue to protect Minnesotans from the harmful and discredited practice of so-called conversion “therapy,” and will ensure that survivors can seek damages where harm was committed.

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

When harmful legislation comes to the floor, our allies and champions stand up. Today, in the Minnesota legislature, harmful policies were rushed forward with little notice in both chambers to limit gender affirming care and to challenge inclusive policies for transgender students & athletes. 1/3

LGBTQ+ Minnesotans should be celebrated and supported for who they are. While the professional regulation of this practice may change as a result of this ruling; it’s still on all of us to ensure our friends, neighbors, and communities are educated about the harms of these discredited practices.

1141

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Survivors still have tools to take legal action against unethical treatments, and we are working with the authors of our state’s bipartisan 2023 ban on this harmful practice who have already introduced legislation that will strengthen the ability of survivors to sue.

1143

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

This ruling limits the ability of the state to regulate these harmful practices; but it does not make a practice that is rejected by every major medical association legal nor does it change the fact that the discredited practice of conversion “therapy” is harmful, wrong, and unethical.

1123

OutFront Minnesota @outfrontmn.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Minnesotans know that conversion “therapy” is anything but therapy. We have spent years working to protect vulnerable members of our state from harmful practices through state and local regulations designed to ensure that all can trust the medical care they are seeking is safe and effective.

We are disappointed that the DOJ is pursuing legal action against our state and its policies; but we are confident that the state of Minnesota will continue to work to protect the rights of all our students. OutFront will continue to stand up for our communities, and support our schools.

While arguments about fairness and safety are a big topic of cultural debate, there is no indication that trans athletes are universally at a greater advantage–and the government’s policies would have dramatic impacts on students–including on cisgender students who would face greater scrutiny.
