NY Wants to Jail Nursing Home Nuns for Not Embracing Gender Delusion, and That’s Not the Worst Part

About this episode

The episode discusses a lawsuit filed by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne against New York's LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents' Bill of Rights, highlighting the implications for religious organizations.

Kathy Hochul in November 2023. The sisters operate Rosary Hill Home, a 42-bed facility in Hawthorne, New York, providing free terminal cancer care to those who cannot afford it — accepting no insurance or government funds. New York's law requires nursing homes to assign rooms and grant bathroom access based on gender identity, use preferred pronouns, conduct biennial gender ideology staff training, and post anti-discrimination notices — all under threat of criminal penalties. Non-compliance can result in fines starting at $2,000 per violation, escalating to $5,000 for repeat violations, with "willful violations" carrying fines up to $10,000 and up to one year in prison. Over a four-year period, the New York State Department of Health received zero complaints against Rosary Hill Home, compared to more than 55,000 complaints against other nursing facilities statewide. The state's law includes a religious exemption for facilities operated by the Church of Christ…
