A transgender couple faces criminal charges after being beaten by a mob over their use of a women’s restroom at Cypress Black Bayou Park in Benton, Louisiana. Rush, a trans woman, used the women’s restroom and returned to the lake without incident. He followed her to her car, threatening to harm her if she entered the women’s restroom, calling her slurs, and trying to provoke a fight. When Sanders exited the restroom and tried to lead Rush away, the mob surrounded and attacked them. It remains unclear whether the measure has taken effect: some local officials say it has, while the sheriff’s office says it has not.
