SUMMARY: A group of families with transgender children, supported by PFLAG and GLMA, filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s executive order halting federal funding for gender-affirming health care for those under 19. The legal challenge, filed in Baltimore, follows Trump’s directive to stop support via federally run health programs. Kristen Chapman, a plaintiff, expressed distress as her daughter’s care was abruptly canceled due to the order. The ACLU and Lambda Legal seek to block the directive, which contrasts sharply with the previous administration’s policies supporting transgender rights. The situation reflects a broader trend of legislative action against transgender healthcare in various states.

SUMMARY: The center-right Demokraatit Party won Greenland’s parliamentary elections, surprising many as the territory contemplates its status amid U.S. interest, particularly from President Trump.
