Simplified explaination: the city gov has refused to comply with any gender affirming care ban, like the one the MO state government is on track to pass.
I will not be surprised if Jeff City tries to nullify or overturn this. Or simply penalize the metro in other ways.
But even if that happens... even if they succeed... the simple fact that this passed by a near-unanimous vote sends a clear message.
It sends a message to non-cis residents that the city is on their side.
And it sends a message to the rest of the nation that resistance is still alive in red states.
You never saw it coming, wouldn’t have suspected it… but we’re inviting fans to wear their best Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) inspired looks at Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in Kansas City this weekend. Let’s paint Kansas City Speak Now (Taylor's Version)!!! 💜🖌️
