State Farm Under Fire For Ending Partnership With Gender Identity School Book Program

State Farm is under fire for ending its partnership with a gender identity school book program. The Bloomington-based insurance company cut ties with the GenderCool Project, a “youth-led” nonprofit organization that distributes children’s books about being transgender, inclusive and nonbinary to schools and libraries. LGBTQ advocates are now blasting State Farm for the move. State Senator Mike Simmons, who is the first openly gay state senator in Illinois, called it reprehensible.
