Congratulations to Danielle (Danny) King, Senior Youth Policy Council, National Center for Lesbian Rights and one of the 2024 LGBTQ+ Bar 40 Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40! "LGBTQ+ youth of color face enormous barriers that must not be overlooked. We must engage in litigation, policy advocacy and community advocacy that addresses the root causes of why LGBTQ+ youth of color are overrepresented in the child welfare (family regulation) and juvenile justice systems. This will require us to radically challenge the functions of these systems and center community supports over removal and arrests. LGBTQ+ youth of color deserve a future where they can thrive and succeed." We’ll be celebrating our 2024 Class at this year’s Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair; taking place this week on August 7-9, 2024 in Washington, D.C.

"Newsom signed into law on July 15 Assembly Bill 1955 — aka the SAFETY Act — which bars public-school districts from requiring staff to notify parents if their children change their preferred pronouns or gender identities. California is the first state to pass such a law... Danielle King, a senior youth policy counsel at National Center for Lesbian Rights, said the law also provides resources for parents and ensures retaliation protection for teachers who refuse to forcibly “out” students. The law is critical for transgender, gender-nonconforming and nonbinary students, King said, because of the rate of suicide ideation and attempts among transgender youth. According to the Trevor Project’s 2023 national survey on LGBTQ youth aged 13-24, 56% of transgender young men, 48% of transgender young women, 48% of nonbinary young people and 44% of gender-questioning youth contemplated suicide last year. King told The Examiner that “the criticisms of the SAFETY Act are based on misinformation about the new law.” “Its main purpose is to ensure that [transgender, gender-nonconforming and nonbinary] students are treated equally and that their privacy is respected so that they can thrive in school, just as their peers,” she said." https://lnkd.in/eXaFZsA2 #AB1955 #SAFETYAct #LGBTQyouth #forcedouting #education NCLR – National Center for Lesbian Rights
