Justice Served: Unveiling the Names of Brianna Ghey’s Teenage Killers

The perpetrators responsible for the murder of trans schoolgirl Brianna Ghey, identified as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, have been publicly named as they receive life sentences for their heinous crime. Mrs Justice Yip revealed their identities after lifting the anonymity order, given the severity of their actions. Throughout the trial, the duo had been referred to as Girl X and Boy Y, with their disturbing shared interest in violence, torture, and serial killers highlighted during court proceedings. Their joint planning of “dark fantasies” was a chilling aspect discussed by the jury. At the time of Brianna's tragic murder on February 11 last year, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both 15 then, had compiled a “kill list” that included four other teenagers. During the sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, Brianna's father, Peter Spooner, expressed his devastation, describing Jenkinson and Ratcliffe as “pure evil.” In his victim impact statement, he remarked, “Now...

Why Are So Many United Methodist Congregations Leaving The Denomination Over Lgbtq+ Issues?

Hundreds of congregations of the United Methodist Church voted to leave the denomination, and remaining congregations have just a few weeks left to decide whether to leave or stay amid the schism over same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ clergy, furthering a theological divide that has split up some of the largest Protestant churches in the United States in recent years. Congregations have until the end of 2023 to split from the UMC. Four years after the United Methodist Church decided to allow churches to disaffiliate from the denomination over the conflict within the church regarding homosexuality, 261 of the nearly 700 congregations from the UMC's North Georgia Conference have opted to leave so far. The last time so many denominations underwent schisms was in the 19th century when some denominations split over slavery. Tensions over LGBTQ+ issues have also taken hold in the Catholic Church, which has been increasingly criticized by conservatives over the leadership of Pope Francis, who is perceived as more welcoming to LGBTQ+ Catholics than his predecessors. In July 2013, Francis famously asked: “If a person is and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” He has since supported civil unions for same-sex couples and said that God loves gay Catholics, though he has reaffirmed traditional church teachings that marriage is between a man and a woman and homosexual acts are sins.

Federal Judge Says DeSantis Spread Misinformation To Get Anti Trans Restrictions

A federal judge who heard a lawsuit challenging Florida 's restrictions on gender-affirming care says Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly spread false information to push through policies that would limit access to various transition-related treatments. U.S. Judge Robert Hinkle, of the Northern District of Florida, made the remarks during the final day of a trial, finding that Florida health authorities and DeSantis initially cast the state's law barring minors from accessing gender-affirming treatments as a necessary step to prevent children from being mutilated. But, Hinkle said, the law actually prevents transgender individuals from accessing any health care treatments that affirm their gender identity. The restrictions on gender-affirming care were first enacted in March after the Florida Board of Medicine and Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine approved rules to limit the accessibility of hormonal and surgical interventions. DeSantis subsequently signed a bill in May...
