Prominent Male-Identified Advocates, Including Actor/Activist George Takei, Actor/Musician and Advocate Dyllon Burnside, Iowa State Senator Zach Wahls, Trans Advocate Aydian Dowling and Phluid Project CEO Rob Smith Urge Cis Men to Support Fight for Reproductive Justice thetaskforce.org/ban-the-repro-binary (Washington, D.C. — November 1, 2022) The National LGBTQ Task Force has produced a public education campaign to expand the LGBTQ community’s understanding of reproductive justice and encourage cis men to support the fight for reproductive rights.
The campaign “Ban the Repro Binary,” consists of several powerful short videos from a diverse set of male-identified voices in the LGBTQ+ community.
The project was produced with funding from the Pop Culture Collaborative. The campaign will launch educational video resources ahead of the midterm elections in November, encouraging cis men to mobilize around and advocate for reproductive rights, emphasizing why repro rights impact them directly as well as the communities they are also part of.
The recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey has called into question constitutional law about the freedom to marry and the freedom to form intimate relationships with other consenting adults.
