Recently a number of laws and directives have been passed that alienate, further marginalize and attempt to criminalize offering help to youth in the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. This is our response: https://t.co/GW1tysO2Io

Senate Ed is having a hearing on SB484 for Mon 3/7/22 @ 1:30pm, a repeat of last year’s SB208, banning transgender & gender nonconforming kids as young as five from participating in school sports.

Stop using LGBT kids as legislative punching bags!
