FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 11, 2024 CONTACT:Cathy Renna, Communications Director, National LGBTQ Task Force,917-757-6123, crenna@thetaskforce.org REACTION TO HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTE ADVANCING RESOLUTION TO ROLLING BACK TITLE IX EXPANSION BY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THE FOLLOWING CAN BE ATTRIBUTE TO ALLEN MORRIS, POLICY DIRECTOR, NATIONAL LGBTQ TASK FORCE: “Transphobia and misogyny are at the root of today’s House proceedings.
Repealing protections for LGBTQ youth, in particular trans youth, and those whose safety is compromised on campuses and other spaces is unconscionable and hateful.
Congress must act swiftly to overturn this dangerous ruling and reimplement the protections established by the Biden Administration.
We also implore the Senate to hold the line for transgender lives and the larger LGBTQ+ community. Now is not the time to fold to political pressure or give extremists a platform for hatred, discrimination and violence to thrive.” MORE INFO: The National LGBTQ Task Force advances full freedom, justice, and equality for LGBTQ people.
