Supreme Court’s ruling in the landmark 2020 Bostock v. Clayton County case, the department’s revised policy clarifies that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity constitutes sex-based discrimination as defined under the law. The claims could not be verified by the outlet, and have not been confirmed by law enforcement or the cruise line, but CEO Rich Campbell confirmed Mindrum's identity to the Blade.

A member of our Care Team is providing support and assistance to his family,” he added. “I can confirm that we had a death onboard and that it was unexpected and not suspicious,” the spokesperson said.The details of the passenger’s death have not been publicly disclosed. Cruise Law News notes speculation that indicates Yu may have died from a drug overdose. In 2012, a 30-year-old British male passenger aboard the Allure of the Seas went over the railing from his stateroom.

The death was confirmed by Atlantis Events, with a representative describing it as “nothing out of the ordinary” and directing further inquiries regarding the cause of death to Royal Caribbean. The trip takes passengers across the seas over 274 nights to all seven continents, over 60 countries and 11 world wonders, including the Taj Mahal in India and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. Taylor’s best friend and former costar Reed Timmer was among the first to publicly grieve his passing on social media. In the 2022 case, The Advocate reported a death aboard the Oasis of the Seas during Atlantis Events’ 30th Anniversary Cruise. Department of Justice, reported hate crime incidents have been skyrocketing, with attacks motivated by sexual orientation surging by 70 percent from 2020 to 2022, the last year for which data is available.

The Biden-Harris administration’s revised Title IX policy “protects LGBTQ+ students from discrimination and other abuse,” Lambda Legal said in a statement praising the U.S. “We are in the depths of grief about losing Jonathan, and we also have important questions about the circumstances of his death and emergency services provided to him,” he added. Craig Mindrum, Jonathan Mindrum’s father, in a statement to the Blade said his son was a “brilliant person as a professional consultant and thinker.” Craig Mindrum also noted his son was completing a master’s degree in data science at Northwestern University. The itinerary that Atlantis Events posted to its website notes the ship was scheduled to arrive in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 7 a.m. “He had a very bright future ahead of him, so losing him is a loss not just to us but to the world,” he said. “We are in the depths of grief about losing Jonathan, and we also have important questions about the circumstances of his death and emergency services provided to him."

"My brother died Wednesday morning ... on the cruise ship. We have received hardly any information from the cruise line," she wrote in a post on Reddit. The identity of the man who died during the “world’s biggest gay festival at sea" has been revealed, along with the alleged details surrounding the circumstances of his untimely passing. Cruise ship accidents, injuries, crimes, disappearances, fires, and collisions on the high seas involve issues of maritime law. Jim Walker graduated from law school in 1983 and has been handling maritime law cases for the past thirty-five years.

But that proposal stalled when it reached the senate, after far-right news outlets and Fox News reported misinformation that the bill only protected LGBTQ people and would make misgendering a trans person a crime. State Rep. Noah Arbit, the bill’s sponsor, was also made the subject of a recall effort, which ultimately failed. Michigan could soon become the latest state to pass an LGBTQ-inclusive hate crime law, but the state’s Democratic lawmakers disagree on just what kind of law they should pass. During the cruise, multiple images have circulated on social media that show few to no signs of distancing. Last week, Atlantis Events set sail with a reported 4,700 travelers on the Oasis of the Seas. Given the ongoing global pandemic, a much-discussed New York Times article questioned whether the ship could keep its occupants safe.

Recently, Atlantis Events-chartered cruises have included passenger deaths, and it happened again last week.

It began its trip to the Asia Pacific on Sunday and will continue to the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Europe through Sept. 10. Rumors about a death on the Serenade of the Seas began after popular content creator Adita, who goes by @aditaml2759 and is traveling on the Ultimate World Cruise, said that the voyage "had its first death" in a TikTok uploaded on Sunday. Though an investigation is already underway, Castrodad says the Coast Guard has yet to inspect the cruise ship. The Oasis of the Seas, known for its extensive amenities and entertainment options, was navigating with about 5,200 guests, according to Atlantis Events’ website. The itinerary included visits to several Caribbean destinations, offering a blend of parties, performances, and social activities. In a Facebook post Tuesday, a local drag personality announced he was running for the office of mayor once held by the late Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry, who died last month just a few months into his fifth term.

Under the house proposal that passed last year (House Bill 4474), a first offense would be punishable with a $2,000 fine, up to two years in prison, or both. Penalties double for a second offense, and if a gun or other dangerous weapons is involved, the maximum penalty is six years in prison and a fine of $7,500. Jonathan Mindrum, 36, died on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas at around 3 a.m. On January 24, the Washington Blade reports, shortly before the ship was scheduled to reach San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 7 a.m. A mostly anonymous commenter wrote in response to his tweet that the death was from a "legit (non-drug related) medical issue."

He handles a wide variety of cases from serious injuries to the highest profile sexual assault and cruise crime cases. The local police in the Caymans apparently issued a statement to the effect that "there would appear to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death."  This is a ridiculous statement. Perhaps there is no evidence of a murder, but clearly a death of a 37 year old man healthy enough to go on a vacation cruise is inherently suspicious. "Atlantis has been doing these cruises for decades and is so professional and welcoming," fellow passenger Eric Patton, who is from Tennessee, told Nashville's Tennessean. "I know that their hearts have to be broken over all this. They've handled this so professionally and with such kindness to the passengers. It really feels like a brotherhood on here. It's just so sad this happened." The LGBTQ travel company chartered the ship for a week-long cruise from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Out of the privacy of the guest and their family, we have nothing further to share at this time,” the statement read. The company did not confirm that it was the first death during the voyage, which set sail in December. Excluding suicides, the leading causes of passenger deaths were shown to be unspecified natural causes, cardiac incidents and falling overboard or onto lower decks. Most large cruise ships are required to have both morgues and body bags onboard in case of guests’ or employees’ untimely deaths while out at sea. Unconfirmed reports suggest that there were at least five instances of an “alpha alpha alpha” alert issued during the voyage.
