Today on Listen Up Girl: California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed six LGBTQ+ bills into law, including AB 1930, which blocks state agencies from helping federal investigators access trans people's medical records. A new Human Rights Campaign Foundation survey of 826 educators finds that teachers in states with anti-LGBTQ+ policies are afraid to step in when LGBTQ+ students are bullied. In the Netherlands, a national youth survey shows positive views of gay people among teenagers have dropped sharply, and researchers are pointing to manosphere influencers. Japanese volleyball player Rui Takahashi becomes the first out gay athlete in Japanese men's pro sports, with support from his brother Ran. The producers of Heated Rivalry launch the Irina Foundation to support LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports and the arts. And LGBTQ+ History Month begins today.
