Here's who's behind the GOP assault on transgender rights



By Casey Quinlan -February 17, 2021 1:31 PM

These right-wing organizations have long records of crafting anti-LGBTQ legislation.

Republican state lawmakers have introduced bills across the country that would make transgender children's lives harder.

Advocacy groups say a small number of influential and well-funded anti-LGBTQ groups are driving the efforts to enact the legislation, as they did with similar bills last year.

Eighteen bills have been introduced in 2021 so far that restrict transgender kids' health care, along with 33 bills that relate to keeping transgender children from playing on the sports team of their gender, according to the ACLU's tracking.
