Heightened Scrutiny (Free Film Screening)

Join us for a FREE film screening at Theatre N in Wilmington, hosted by the Delaware Sexuality & Gender Collective (DSGC)! About The Film Fearless civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio battles at the Supreme Court for transgender adolescents’ access to gender-affirming healthcare, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights. With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, Heightened Scrutiny is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.
