Maine Lawmaker Censured Over Transgender Athlete Controversy
Rep. Laurel Libby faces backlash and censure after speaking out against a transgender athlete's participation in girls' sports and sharing the athlete's photo online.
- Maine Rep. Laurel Libby was censured by the Democrat-led House for posting photos of a transgender high school athlete who won a girls' state pole vaulting championship.
- The censure prohibits Libby from voting or speaking in the House until she apologizes, which she has refused to do, citing her commitment to advocating for female athletes.
- The controversy has drawn national attention, with President Trump threatening to withhold federal funding from Maine for not complying with his executive order barring transgender athletes in women's sports.
- Protests have erupted on both sides of the issue, with hundreds rallying against Governor Janet Mills' stance and a small group demonstrating outside Libby's home.
- The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into Maine's transgender sports policies for potential Title IX violations, further escalating the legal and political battle.
