Judd, I would suggest a victory lap, but there’s still too much work to be done. Thanks to you and your team for this perfect example of why unfettered journalism is so vitally important.
We all need to watch very closely for and rail against early telltales that they are attempting to slime their way out of complying with the court’s decision. They are sneaky b***ards and need to be watched like a hawk.
Well done. Your investigative reporting made a difference by shining a light, creating awareness, and driving change. Remember when MSM used to care enough about digging up the truth? Now they just sell soap.

Well done! All your efforts to keep these insane policies in the news has paid off.
This is good news and how very sad that they had to fight for two years to achieve it. Thanks for persistent reporting on this issue.
Say it loud! Be gay and be PROUD!
Anyone who has an issue with anyone expressing pride in themselves, heritage or whatever should keep it to themselves.
