John,
Unfortunately, bigots saw the results of the 2024 elections and took it as a mandate to dismantle LGBTQ+ rights. And their efforts to hammer away at equality are working. Here's just some of the anti-LGBTQ stories we're seeing:
Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline -- NBC News
Supreme Court delivers major blow to transgender rights, upholding Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors -- PBS
The Supreme Court’s Anti-Trans Decision Will Live in Infamy -- The Nation
Same-sex marriage is under attack by state lawmakers, emboldened by Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ measures and the Supreme Court’s willingness to overturn precedent -- The Conversation
The Supreme Court's Dobbs bombshell shaped this week's blow to trans rights -- MSNBC
Texas House votes to strictly define man and woman, excluding trans people from state records -- The Texas Tribune
These headlines make it clear: they're not going to slow down, so we can't take a break either. We have to keep fighting and pushing back against hate. We can't afford to let these bigots take our rights away. Pitch in today to fight back against hate and power the next rainbow wave!
Thanks for fighting back with us,
