LGBTQIA+

Discrimination and prejudice against the LGBTQIA+ community continue to grow, and we cannot ignore the harm it causes. Fighting for equality means taking action at every level to make sure everyone can live safely, freely, and with dignity. That includes banning conversion therapy nationwide, which has caused lasting harm to countless young people, and recognizing discriminatory book bans as violations of federal civil rights laws so that education and information remain accessible to all.

It also means protecting the rights of transgender and non-binary people to access essential medical care, safe housing, personal safety, and economic security without fear of discrimination or harassment. Beyond these specific protections, we need to build a culture and a legal framework that actively supports LGBTQIA+ people, affirms their identities, and ensures equal opportunity in every aspect of life. Taking these steps helps create a society where everyone, regardless of who they are or who they love, can live with dignity, equality, and the freedom to be themselves.
