World AIDS Day is an opportunity for every community and individual to honor the more than 32 million people who have died worldwide from AIDS-related illness. A day for voices to unite by sharing experiences, remembering those lost, and standing together against HIV.

🏳️‍🌈 Congratulations Myrtle Beach 🏳️‍🌈

[City of Myrtle Beach @MyrtleBeachGov]

100! That is Myrtle Beach's score for the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2024 Municipality Equality Index (MEI).

The MEI examines how inclusive municipal laws, policies and services are in cities and towns across the country.

What do you think? Should @MyrtleBeachGov adopt a hate crime ordinance?

On the first day of the 2024 General Assembly Session, the Medical Affairs Sub-Committee passed H. 4624, a bill banning medically necessary health care for Transgender youth. There was one speaker in favor of the bill and 48 against!

[Grand Strand PRIDE @GS_Pride]

Use the link here to send a letter to your lawmaker demanding they listen to South Carolinians and vote against this bill.

Conway Mayor Barbara Blain-Bellamy drew statewide attention when she recognized Pride Month via proclamation in June. With another term secured, she has no plans to stop.

Congratulations Mayor Blain-Bellamy!

We got to present Mayor Blain-Bellamy with a PRIDE flag after the @CofConway Council meeting last night to thank her for declaring June #PrideMonth. Way to go Conway on a awesome Proclamation!

The PRIDE flag became a symbol of the gay community by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978. 45 years ago. The different colors symbolize diversity in the community. 🏳️‍🌈

Yesterday, H. 3014, the "Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act", came up on the Senate Calendar & was immediately objected to by Sens. Richard Cash, Dwight Loftis & Tom Corbin. Until they lift their objections, the bill can't receive a debate or vote. Here's their contact info.

[Stamp Out Hate SC @StampOutHateSC]

Today H. 3014 overwhelmingly passed the SC House. Thanks to Speaker @murrellsmith, Judiciary Chair @westonnewton120, Minority Leader @RepRutherford & of course @WendellGilliar2 & @bethbernsteinsc for your work on this issue that's so important to our communities. #StampOutHateSC
