similar law passed in Arizona last year that bans gender-affirming surgeries for minors — which is less severe than bans on all types of gender-affirming care that have passed in 18 other states over the past two years.The lawsuit challenging the law, signed by Gov. Eric Holcomb in April, was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of four transgender youth and their families, a physician who specializes in gender-affirming care, and a health care clinic offering itself out to individuals suffering from gender dysphoria, a condition where a person’s anatomy does not match the gender by which they identify. “Because Plaintiffs have some likelihood of success on the merits of constitutional claims, a preliminary injunction is in the public interest,” Hanlon wrote in his ruling.
“While the State has a strong interest in enforcing democratically enacted laws, that interest decreases as Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on the merits of their constitutional claims increases.”Hanlon also found that, without the injunction, the youth plaintiffs could suffer “irreparable harm” due to being unable to access gender-affirming treatments, reports CNN. In the case of the physician and clinic, without an injunction, either or both could be subject to disciplinary measures or the loss of their license to practice medicine if found to have prescribed gender-affirming treatments to minor patients — despite obtaining permission from their parents to treat them.Indiana’s ban on gender-affirming care — as well as similar bans passed in other states — is part of a larger trend among Republican-dominated states to restrict freedoms for transgender people in the hope of discouraging individuals from transitioning or identifying

temporary injunction prohibiting the state from seeking to enforce Section 4 of Senate Bill 150, a sweeping anti-LGBTQ bill that, in addition to barring gender-affirming medical care for minors, restricts which restroom and locker room facilities transgender students can use, allowing teachers and other students to misgender trans-identifying minors, and prohibits certain types of classroom instruction on LGBTQ-related topics and topics related to sexuality, HIV, or other sexually-transmitted diseases.The measure was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear in March over concerns that it infringed not only on LGBTQ students’ right to freedom of expression and equal protection under the law, but the parental rights parents who choose to affirm their children’s identities.In issuing the injunction, Hale sided with the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, which sued to overturn the law on behalf of seven families with transgender children.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter At the end of last summer, Flix Brewhouse faced a dire situation, albeit one that wasn’t unique to the Texas-based movie theater chain. There weren’t any movies to show in August. “We were going to A24 or Briarcliff Entertainment saying, ‘Does anyone have anything we can put on our screens?” recalls Chris Randleman, the company’s chief revenue officer. That’s not the case this summer as exhibitors grapple with a different reality. Can several back-to-back blockbusters succeed at once? Or will the glut of big movies cannibalize each other? Those are the big questions as popcorn season kicks into high gear with the arrivals of Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (June 30), Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” (July 12), Greta Gerwig’s neon-coated “Barbie” (July 21) and Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb drama “Oppenheimer” (also on July 21). All of those films carry big budgets and require outsized ticket sales to turn a profit.

final installment of the long-running franchise to include Ford, 80, is titled “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and is set to be released on June 30.The star explained to Digital Spy in a recent interview why there is a 15-year gap between the fourth and fifth films.He noted that the studio wasn’t clamoring to release another flick so soon after “Crystal Skull” debuted.“Well, it wasn’t as though we sat around for 10 years waiting to come up with an idea,” Ford said. “When we finished the last film, I don’t think anybody thought about going and doing another film for some time,” he added.The length of time between the last two movies could also be attributed to “Crystal Skull’s” not-so-good reviews.While it was regarded as 2008’s second highest-grossing film and took in about $790 million, it holds a 53% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.Critics’ reviews were mixed, with one person even calling it “the most lifeless of the series” and “simply [not] a very good motion picture.”Ford continued to tell the entertainment news outlet that “there were some interesting ideas that were floated” for a fifth movie over the last few years, however, producers weren’t too keen about them.“And then we found an idea, and a script, and a strong story that we wanted to tell,” he gushed about “Dial of Destiny.” “Dial of Destiny” takes place in the mid-1960s with Indiana joining his goddaughter Helena Shaw (played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) as they go on a quest to find a dial that can change history.“The Wolverine” director James Mangold is helming the feature and it also stars the talents of Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore and Mads Mikkelsen.Ford was also digitally de-aged for the flick, as the new story
