John,

Governor Ron DeSantis just signed into law Florida’s discriminatory
“Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prohibits discussions about gender identity
and sexual orientation in schools.

Right now, there’s a similar bill working its way through the Georgia
General Assembly, and both our Republican-held chambers look poised
to pass it. If they do, it will signal a massive, state-sponsored
marginalization of LGBTQ+ youth in our state.

The only way to stop our legislators from enacting this harmful bill is to
show that Georgians absolutely oppose this type of discrimination. Will
you add your name to my petition to tell the General Assembly that we
will not stand for laws that target children?

We’re at a time in our country when LGBTQ+ rights have fallen under
attack. Emboldened by Trumpism, Republican governors and state
legislatures have turned into the worst kinds of bullies. Texas Governor
Greg Abbott recently ordered state officials to investigate parents of
transgender youth for child abuse. Child abuse. Here are Texan parents,
driven by love to make sure their children are receiving health care and
affirmation, being accused of child abuse by a man who has never even
met them.

It’s heart wrenching, and unless we do something about it, Georgia
schools could become the next institutions to be used as weapons
against LGBTQ+ Americans.

Our schools should be places of learning and inclusion, where students
benefit from listening to others and sharing their own perspectives.
But if Georgia enacts the proposed “Don’t Say Gay” law, it will effectively
tell countless LGBTQ+ children that their perspectives don’t matter, and
that they need to suppress their identities. It’s hard to think of a policy
that is more cruel or more detrimental to the mental health of our children.

Let’s tell our state lawmakers: We should be respecting and empowering
our children, not belittling them and making them feel “less than.”

Add your name to my petition and help me build a united front to stand
against discrimination >>
