Pride Month is about honoring the LGBTQ+ trailblazers who have bravely fought for our rights throughout history. It’s about celebrating the joy, authenticity, and freedom that every LGBTQ+ person deserves. It’s about recognizing how far we’ve come, and how far we have left to go. Don’t forget, Pride began as a protest.

Fair Fight Action’s vision for Georgia — and our democracy — includes everyone. That means making sure our laws protect our queer, trans, and nonbinary neighbors, not target them. But once again, right wing extremists have waged relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ folks across the country this year — including right here in Georgia.

Nearly 20 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced during this past legislative session, including hateful and discriminatory bills like Senate Bill 88 and House Bill 1128 that could have furthered anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in our state:

*
Senate
Bill
88,
a
“Don’t
Say
Gay''
bill,
singled
out
the
topic
of
gender
identity
in
schools
for
specific
regulation
—
a
practice
that
could
stigmatize
LGBTQ+
youth
and
would
have
set
the
stage
for
public
school
districts
to
force
teachers
to
out
transgender
students
to
their
parents.
*
House
Bill
1128
opened
the
door
for
discrimination
against
people
whose
gender
does
not
match
their
sex
assigned
at
birth;
and
sought
to
remove
sexual
orientation
and
gender
from
Georgia’s
hate
crimes
criteria
and
investigative
procedures.
It
would
have
effectively
removed
equitable
protections
for
LGBTQ+
people
who
are
victims
of
crimes.

Thankfully, these bills did not pass — but that doesn’t mean they won’t keep trying. A gift from you today can help mobilize against harmful legislation and respond to future threats to our fundamental rights and more. [[link removed]]

It’s no surprise that the same lawmakers working to restrict the right to vote are also attacking the LGBTQ+ community. When we have the freedom to make our voices heard at the ballot box, we have more power to protect LGBTQ+ rights and stop anti-LGBTQ+ extremism.

We won’t let these attacks rain on our Pride parade — here’s to showing up fully and authentically this month!
