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...

Director Of Transgender Equality Leaves Equality Florida

Nikole Parker was named the Director of Transgender Equality in 2021. But, now she is leaving the organization after four years of service! Parker, an Orlando native has been in the nonprofit sector for almost a decade. Her passion is advocacy and encouraging open dialogue about transgender and nonbinary inclusion in all facets of society. Before joining Equality , Parker was with the onePULSE Foundation as the Director of Stakeholder and Community Relations. She was the primary liaison between the foundation, victims' families, survivors, and first responders of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy. At Equality Florida she was fighting at the front line with all the might against bigotry and hate. In her announcement to Queer News Tonight, she talks about the honor of being able to work at a respected political advocacy group like Equality Florida. Parker will be accepting the responsibility at the LGBTQ+ Center Orlando as their Chief Operating Officer on January 2, 2024. Angelique Godwin will be replacing Parker at Equality Florida as the TransAction Special Events Coordinator. As a Black transgender woman and drag artist, Godwin hopes to bring an important perspective to this fight. In this new role, Godwin will be leading an in-person statewide convening of transgender leaders planned for next year. Becoming the top leader at Orlando's LGBTQ+ center will make her one of the very few LGBTQ+ community centers led by trans women.

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.
