The Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the US due to a wave of discriminatory laws passed in states across the country. More than 70 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law so far in 2023.
Most major medical groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, support gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors and adults.
This comes as 2024 Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley tried to connect teen girls’ suicidal ideation to transgender rights during a CNN town hall Sunday.The idea that we have biological boys playing in girls’ sports, it is the women’s issue of our time.

The same people that are trying to outlaw the ability to teach queer theories in schools are trying outlaw — excuse me, ban books and outlaw the ability to teach about Black history. They are launching an attack on all of our communities that is truly a crisis to our democracy.
