1 anti-trans medical care ban bill in Arkansas
4 religious refusals bills, including in North Dakota, South Dakota, and two bills in Arkansas
2 anti-LGTBQ bills in Tennessee and Montana
1 sham “hate crimes” bill in Arkansas
1 anti-all comers bill in North Dakota
1 anti-tans birth certificate bill in Montana
That isn’t even taking into consideration the bills that are on Republican governors’ desks waiting for approval, like bills to restrict more students from participating in school sports if they are trans, bills to restrict the teaching of LGBTQ people and history in classrooms, and the allowance of discrimination against LGBTQ people based on a person’s religious beliefs.

February is the month of romance although as a sci-fi romance author, I believe in hearts, flowers and happy-ever-afters year round so I decided to ask my friends in the Science Fiction Romance Brigade (SFRB) to list their favorite SFR couples. SFRB is made up primarily of authors but, of course, we’re all voracious readers, and we have bloggers, readers and reviewers in our ranks as well. The resulting set of recommendations can serve as suggestions for adding to your “To Be Read” list.
So, who do sci-fi romance authors turn to when they want to read romance?
