Rob’s keeping up the fight for the rights, health, and safety of young LGBTQ+ people in California and across the nation.
While far-right extremists across the country continue to introduce bills that would discriminate against and actively harm vulnerable LGBTQ+ youth, Rob is keeping up the fight to protect young people from these dangerous laws.
At the end of August, Rob joined a multistate coalition of attorneys general in filing an amicus brief to support Michigan’s ban on conversion therapy for minors. A conservative group is suing the state for its new law that prevents this cruel, harmful, and ineffective practice that aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity from being used on young people.
Conversion therapy is a discredited and harmful practice that is not only ineffective, but increases the risk of suicide and chronic mental illness. That’s why Rob firmly believes it has no place in our healthcare institutions, and that no child should be subjected to it simply for being who they are.
Last week, Rob also led 20 attorneys general in an amicus brief opposing Tennesee’s law that bans gender-affirming care for transgender adolescents suffering from gender dysphoria.
Medical and scientific evidence show that the benefits of gender-affirming care like gender-affirming puberty blockers and hormone therapy far outweigh the risks, yet Tennessee is preventing young people from accessing this critical, life-saving care, even if they, their parents, and their doctor deem it medically necessary.
While Republicans in state legislatures and Congress continue to attack the rights, health, and safety of the LGBTQ+ community — especially vulnerable young people — Rob is doing everything in his power to fight back and ensure every person can live as their authentic selves.
