— a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)."Why would they want a transgender Latina in the ELCA?" Garcia said.Garcia's gender transition began when she was 43 years old. Before then, she said she had already left the Catholic church for years."And a big part of it was because I was angry at God for not fixing me," Garcia said. "I never felt comfortable in my own skin, and I prayed to God to make me the person that I was supposed to be, and it never happened."Garcia found the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America before they decided to allow transgender people and people in same-sex relationships to become pastors.She said she was able to walk into the church and feel loved and accepted from the beginning. However, not everyone was welcoming."I got accosted in the hallways and got the finger face, 'You're just breaking up the church, you and your evil agenda.' And I would just shake my head and say, 'No,' " she said.After taking part in her first service as pastor, she said she wants to continue breaking barriers for others to follow her steps.She said hateful words will not stop her journey."I do have a bullseye on my back, and I've known that for years, so if they want to stop me, they've got to kill me," she said.This story was originally published by 1296

from a venomous snake.Jimmie Nelson, an 81-year-old stroke victim who lives alone, wanted a cat as a companion. His daughter, Teresa Seals, helped him pick out Shelly. She was adopted from the Claiborne County Animal Shelter. It was Shelly who also came to the rescue two weeks ago, protecting her owner. Seals says her dad heard a noise in the middle of the night and thought it was just the cat playing or maybe a mouse. A couple days later, Seals got a call from her dad’s sitter who said she saw a dead copperhead a couple feet long on the kitchen floor.On the side of the snake's neck and head were claw marks and one big slash. Seals says Shelly killed the snake and made it out unscathed. If it weren't for her, Seals says it could’ve been much worse for her dad."It was predestined for him to have this cat just to save his life," Seals said.The copperhead is one of four venomous snakes in the State of Tennessee.This story was originally published by Seena Sleem at WTVF. 983

With the Trump administration openly trying to undermine mail-in voting this fall, some election officials around the country are hoping to bypass the Postal Service by installing lots of ballot drop boxes in libraries, community centers and other public places.Such boxes have been used with success for several years in states like Oregon, Washington and Colorado that rely largely or entirely on ballots that must be sent in. But their use is being expanded because of the coronavirus outbreak and, more recently, concerns about the post office’s ability to do its job.State or local authorities in places such as Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are pressing for more boxes or drop-off sites that would enable ballots to reach election officials without going through the mail.“Donald Trump continues to undermine the legitimacy of mail-in absentee ballots by attacking the U.S. Postal Service,” said New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman, a Democrat who is sponsoring legislation to set up drop boxes beyond the usual confines of voting sites and local election offices. “New York can hit back on this anti-democratic fearmongering by establishing absentee ballot drop boxes across the state to help ensure the integrity of these ballots.”In the potential battleground state of Wisconsin, the five biggest cities won a .3 million grant from the nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life to help administer the November election, including installation of drop boxes. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said his city will use some of its .1 million share to buy more than a dozen to install at libraries and other locations.Arizona’s secretary of state is ordering about 70 more for the mostly rural areas that have requested them, and a spokeswoman said some counties are also purchasing extra ones.Washington state election officials said that there are 450 drop boxes statewide, and there are discussions about adding more.Last week, the Postal Service, having cut overtime and late deliveries, began warning states that it can’t guarantee all mail ballots will be received in time to be counted. President Donald Trump, who has been sowing unfounded fears of vote-by-mail fraud for months, last week admitted blocking Postal Service funding so it would be harder to process the expected surge of millions of ballots.Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin said concerns over post office delays are a big factor in communities looking to install drop boxes for the November election.“It’s another way to be completely assured your ballot is getting dropped off as if you’re going to the polls,” the congressman said. “I think you’re going to see a lot more of this happening.”Election officials in some states — mainly Republican-led ones — have come out against adding drop boxes, saying doing so would be too costly, raises security concerns or would violate state laws.In a tweet Monday, Trump sought to cast doubt on the security of such boxes, saying: “So who is going to ‘collect’ the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation? A Rigged Election? So bad for our Country.”Typical security measures for drop boxes include video surveillance, locks, tamper-resistant seals and chain-of-custody logs that are completed each time ballots are collected.Local officials, at a minimum, should have a drop box at their main county or city office building, and it is recommended that they have one box for every 15,000 to 20,000 registered voters, according to a memo issued by federal authorities in response to the viral outbreak.The Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy institute at New York University Law School, has estimated that nearly 11,700 ballot drop-off boxes will be needed for November, at a cost of million to 7 million for purchase and installation.Washington state has boxes outside churches, fire stations, libraries, colleges, city halls, shopping centers and courthouses. In Oregon, they are not only inside libraries and government buildings but on the street outside high-traffic businesses such as Starbucks, McDonald’s and movie theaters.“The whole idea really is to meet people where they are in their everyday lives,” Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute and a former elections official.In Pennsylvania, a federal lawsuit by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee has cast drop boxes into a legal gray area.That was after Philadelphia and its suburbs used them — to great success, according to officials there — in the June 2 primary, when a record-smashing 1.4 million ballots arrived by mail. Democratic state lawmakers are countersuing to get a judge to clarify that drop boxes are legal.In the meantime, Philadelphia and several suburban counties plan to create satellite election offices where people can register to vote, apply for a ballot and submit it. Philadelphia wants to establish as many as 17.Suburban Delaware County is plowing ahead with its plans for drop boxes without waiting for the outcome of the legal dispute, said County Council member Christine Reuther, a Democrat. With the help of grant money, the county will buy 50 boxes and have them installed by Oct. 1.The goal of the Trump campaign’s lawsuit, said Reuther, was to “scare people away from doing this.”“We are gambling a little bit,” she said. “I think our lawyers feel pretty confident about the lawsuit.”Louisiana isn’t debating adding drop boxes, but the state’s elections chief, GOP Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, is proposing to allow parishes to set up curbside drop-off stations where people can hand their absentee ballots to someone in person rather than put them in the mail.North Carolina has no plans to install boxes, and Oklahoma doesn’t use them either, though voters can drop off ballots at one location in each county. But the state plans on printing green return envelopes to help postal workers more easily identify mail-in ballots and give them priority.Ohio will have a single drop box in each of its 88 counties. Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, said he would need legislative authority or clearance from the attorney general to add more.State Sen. Nickie Antonio, a Democrat from suburban Cleveland, said LaRose’s stand “reeks of partisan politics.”____AP state government reporters around the country contributed to this report. 6351

-- and I think that's for a number of reasons," Kaslow said.Some reasons, Kaslow said, could be that family and community structures may not be as tight-knit as in the past, leading to increased risk, or that the increased use of technology has led to young people spending less time on cultivating rich, in-person relationships and more time being exposed to possible cyberbullying."I don't think it's the using of technology that's the problem, but I think it can be how that affects your relationships and the cyberbullying issue," she said. "There's growing evidence now that cyberbullying is associated with depression, with self-harm and suicidal thoughts and even death by suicide." 690
