TL;DR

State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh has agreed to end her filibuster after an agreement was reached with the Nebraska Legislature. The Let them Grow Act, which prohibits gender-altering procedures for individuals under 19, will be debated on Tuesday. Supporters of the bill say it protects children from making permanent decisions too early in life, while opponents argue it is a form of genocide against Nebraska's LGBTQ children. Cavanaugh previously called on the 23 co-sponsors to remove their names from the bill and launched her filibuster in protest.
