I wanted to make sure you saw this headline, John. It shows what we're up against - and how we can fight back.
The groundwork for a Supreme Court case on gender-affirming care is being laid now.
-- The 19th
First, they came for Roe. Now, they're using the Supreme Court opinions from Dobbs to enforce anti-trans laws across the South. Next, they’ll come for marriage equality and bring back laws outlawing homosexuality. We've said it before and I'll say it again now: the right to privacy and bodily autonomy - two rights enshrined by Roe - are under siege.
This is dangerous precedent - and we can't let it go unopposed. It's up to us to elect a new group of LGBTQ+ leaders who will ensure bills like these are blocked in the legislatures.
The candidates who win in 2023 and 2024 will decide who has access to healthcare. They'll decide who can get married, who can be out at work and whose stories can be told in schools. If you’re committed to electing these candidates, defending LGBTQ+ rights and preserving equality, pitch in here!
It's clear extremist right-wing politicians are going to keep introducing these bills and spreading their hate. They WANT to force these bills into our court systems and dismantle years of pro-LGBTQ+ cases.
We need leaders who will take action to keep anti-equality bigots OUT of our bedrooms and stop the assault on LGBTQ+ rights. Pitch in to help LGBTQ+ Victory Fund elect more strong LGBTQ+ champions for equality!
Thank you,
Sean Meloy
