  • HW 2016 03 TX Letter EHB T
    September 30, 2015 Kevin Counihan Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 7500 Security Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21244 Via email: [email protected] Re: 2017 Texas Essential Health Benefits Benchmark Plan Comments: Special Concerns re: Transgender Persons Dear Mr. Counihan: The Texas-based organizations signed onto this letter appreciate the opportunity to comment on proposed Texas Essential Health Benefit (EHB) benchmark for 2017 released on August 28, 2015. We fully endorse the comments submitted by the LGBT State Exchanges Project at the Center for American Progress (Washington, DC) which provide a detailed analysis of concerns about the potentially discriminatory impact of the non-compliant benchmark plans on access to services needed by transgender individuals in Texas and other states. We also fully endorse the comments submitted by Center for Public Policy Priorities (Austin, Texas), which detail fully the multiple shortcomings of Texas’ non-compliant default benchmark plan. Our organizations submit this separate comment letter to underscore our serious concern about the inadequacy of Texas’ EHB benchmark in its potential impact on transgender persons. Texas’ default EHB benchmark contains an exclusion for any services or supplies provided for, in preparation for, or in conjunction with “transsexual surgery.” We also note that Texas’ benchmark plan covers benefits for tests to detect Human Papillomavirus and cervical cancer including a Pap smear only for women age 18 and older. In addition to the arbitrary age limit which may be discriminatory, it is important that CCIIO clarify that these wellness services must be provided to any person with a cervix to be compliant with nondiscrimination requirements in ACA Section 1557 (see CAP comments).

  • Testimony of Glbtq Legal Advocates & Defenders And
    TESTIMONY OF GLBTQ LEGAL ADVOCATES & DEFENDERS AND EQUALITYMAINE LD 1585 – OUGHT TO PASS JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY May 12, 2021 Senator Deschambault, Representative Warren, and Honorable Members of the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety: Good Morning. My name is Anthony Lombardi, and I am a legal fellow at GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, New England’s leading legal advocacy organization for rights of LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV, and I am a lobbyist associate of Mary Bonauto who lives in Portland. GLAD, alongside EqualityMaine, the state’s LGBTQ civil rights organization, write to share their support for LD 1585 – An Act To Increase Privacy and Security by Prohibiting the Use of Facial Surveillance by Certain Government Employees and Officials. We believe this technology will create problems, not solve them, and that ordinary people will be hurt along the way. The misapplication of facial recognition technology in perpetuating racial and gender biases is well-documented;1 as such, we write to provide additional context to illustrate the clear dangers that the implementation of this technology poses for members of the LGBTQ+ community. GLAD and EQME adamantly oppose any practice that perpetuates racial, gender, and/or economic injustice and urge this Committee to carefully consider all of the privacy and equity concerns raised, including from our peer organizations such as the ACLU of Maine. The most apparent and egregious failure of facial recognition software for LGBTQ+ people is its focus on sorting faces as only “male” and “female” when there is in fact a wide diversity of characteristics which people choose to stereotype as “male” or “female.” Facial recognition also routinely fails to correctly identify transgender people.

  • In 2019, the State of Equality Is: out of Step with Texas Values
    IN 2019, THE STATE OF EQUALITY IS: OUT OF STEP WITH TEXAS VALUES As the 2019 Texas Legislature approaches the mid-point, Equality Texas has surveyed the current state of equality and concluded that urgent legislative action is needed. Public support for equality has never been higher. But from kindergarten to the retirement home, LGBTQ people still experience worse outcomes across nearly every metric and, for many, equality remains stubbornly out of reach. The 86th Texas Legislature must act to remove the antiquated legal barriers that put LGBTQ Texans at a marked disadvantage compared to their neighbors. VISIBILITY & ACCEPTANCE According to an analysis by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, ​ ​ approximately 930,000 Texans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer. If LGBTQ Texans were a city unto themselves, they’d be the 5th most 1 populous municipality in the state, just behind Austin, and significantly larger than El Paso. LGBTQ people are more visible in their communities than ever before: according to a 2017 study, 70% of Americans report that they have a close friend or family ​ member who is gay or lesbian, while the number of Americans who say they personally know someone who is transgender has nearly doubled, from 11% to 21%. Public support for equality is also at an all time high in the state. The Public Religion Research Institute recently analyzed Texans’ attitudes ​ and reported that 64% of Texans support non-discrimination laws for LGBTQ people. That strong support is consistent across political party, religious affiliation, demographic group, and region of the state.

  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.
