LGBTQ elected officials are introducing legislation that provides safe havens for trans kids, their families and reaffirms their identity.

John,
You've seen the headlines: states like Alabama, Idaho, Texas and are criminalizing trans kids and their parents for seeking lifesaving health care and rolling back LGBTQ rights across the country. It's disgusting.
But LGBTQ Victory Institute and our LGBTQ elected officials are fighting back. Today, California state Senator Scott Wiener announced a pro-trans bill that will officially make California a refuge state and shield trans kids and their families from civil and criminal penalties imposed by anti-trans health care bans. And in New York, state Assemblymember Harry Bronson and state Senator Brad Hoylman have introduced their own bill!
We're working closely with our partners to support a national LGBTQ elected official-led movement to introduce pro-trans legislation across the country. And our work is already paying off: LGBTQ elected officials in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia will introduced similar bills defending trans kids and preserving LGBTQ rights!
Are you ready to add your name as a Citizen Signer and let our LGBTQ elected officials know you're standing with them? Add your name here!
Our growing movement will ensure trans kids aren't targeted for their identity and their parents aren't treated as criminals. Studies have shown that access to gender-affirming care for trans kids reduces risk for depression, psychological distress, and suicidal ideation. These bills ensure we can protecting the most vulnerable in the LGBTQ community.
This is just the start - but we won't stop until the horrific bigoted bills are repealed and trans kids are safe. Stand with us - add your name and let our LGBTQ elected officials know you're proud of them and their work for LGBTQ equality!
Thanks for stepping up,
Elliot Imse
