“I’m here to tell anyone who’s listening that fighting for basic, fundamental freedoms is the right thing to do and the politically smart thing to do every single time.” Thank you for fighting like hell for our LGBTQ+ community, Gretchen Whitmer. 💙

BREAKING: The Trump administration is erasing protections for LGBTQ+ kids and survivors of sexual assault in school settings without an opportunity for public comment. Trump’s Department of Education has abandoned its duty to protect students from sex discrimination and sexual violence in schools.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow essential health care to be withheld from transgender people in federal prisons. Denying medically-necessary care to any incarcerated person is cruel and unusual punishment — period.

Groceries are expensive. Gas is expensive. Housing is expensive. Blaming LGBTQ+ people won't change any of that. People need solutions to rising costs, not scapegoats.

At least six major hospitals have entered into settlements with the Trump administration to stop providing healthcare to young trans people. This is nothing less than a crisis for families and transgender youth.

Last school year, we talked to public school educators about bullying, harassment, and restrictions on LGBTQ+ inclusion. What really stood out was how different educators’ experiences were depending on where they lived. School boards have the power to write a different story — no matter the state.

To midterm candidates: Turning on transgender Americans is not a winning political strategy. It harms our community, legitimizes MAGA, and takes focus away from gas being $4.30 a gallon. There is a better way.
