Dozens march in honor of International Trans Day of Visibility
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Several groups of people marched from the Four Freedoms Monument to the Civic Center ahead of the city council meeting, celebrating the International Trans Day of Visibility.
In Indiana, certain laws ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth including hormone therapy, puberty blockers and surgeries.
Charlotte Morrison helped organize the march. She also helped draft a resolution that, if passed, would establish the city as a safe haven for gender-affirming care. She hopes the demonstration will help city leaders realize more work needs to be done.
'It's for anybody who receives gender affirming care,' says Morrison. 'It is not just under 18 or over 18, it is anyone who receives it in the city.'
15 people spoke in favor of the resolution, saying it is needed to help protect the transgender community. But, not everyone agrees.
City council members are looking at the resolution and plan to discuss it in future meetings.

Pennsylvania lawmakers advance bill expanding no-cost breast cancer diagnostics
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Pennsylvania was one of the first states to require insurance companies to cover breast cancer screenings for high-risk women. Now, lawmakers want to expand on the law. Senate Bill 88 passed out of the insurance committee unanimously on Tuesday. The bill would clarify that insurance companies must cover screenings and diagnostics with no out-of-pocket costs for not just high-risk women but average-risk women, too. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now That covers just about everyone. Governor Josh Shapiro signed Act 1 into law in 2023 as the first bill of his administration. The law, which unanimously passed the Senate and House, required insurance companies to pay for preventative care such as genetic testing, MRIs, and ultrasounds for women at high risk of breast cancer. Insurance companies covered the screenings, but some still charged women for diagnostics if something was found. Governor Shapiro signs historic breast cancer screening bill 'But we know that screening is just one part of early detection, and far too many patients are still being hit with costs for the diagnostic imaging they need next,' said Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-Westmoreland), who co-sponsored the bill. 'It's time to finish what we started and make sure every woman has access to the full range of breast imaging, including diagnostic exams, without cost standing in the way.' The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration, where it is likely to pass. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
