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.
