Dear John, On this three-year anniversary of Bostock v. Clayton County — the Supreme Court ruling holding that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity — there are reminders everywhere that our fight for equal rights and justice is far from over. There are still many barriers and challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals face in their everyday lives — with new ones being introduced every day — from discrimination in housing and healthcare to unequal treatment in the workplace. But PFLAG shows up and fights back, every time. Commit today to joining us in the fight by donating $25, $50, or more. Every gift made through #GiveOUTDay on June 28 will be matched up to a total of $25,000, thanks to a generous match from longtime LGBTQ+ philanthropist Ted Snowdon. While Bostock made discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in the workplace illegal, lawmakers in dozens of states are still working overtime to legislate discrimination in other ways, from mandating “sex-based” dress codes in workplaces in Texas, to banning medically necessary care for trans people of all ages, to banning trans youth from playing sports. As a transgender man and former athlete, I know the social, physical, and psychological benefits that team sports offer. Imagine the pain of being refused access to those benefits just for being who you are. With trans athlete bans in effect in 22 states, PFLAG is engaging members and supporters like you — along with our hundreds of chapters — to fight back on further efforts that harm trans kids. Your support will help fight for policy changes that protect all students — where everyone is free to be themselves and live without fear of discrimination, harassment, and harm. Donate today to ensure that every LGBTQ+ person, in every state, is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. I thank you for your support. |
