This month a subcommittee of the South Carolina House Judiciary Committee voted to advance H.4776, a bill that would target LGBTQ people people for discrimination in healthcare. This is the House companion to the original S.811, the "Healthcare Discrimination Bill," that so many South Carolinians rallied against in the spring of 2021 and January 2022.

We must come together to pressure the committee to defeat this discriminatory bill.

H.4776 would grant license to deny care for any group based on personal beliefs. The impacts of this bill could not be more clear: The bill would make access to care much more difficult for LGBTQ people – especially in rural communities.

The LGBTQ community stood together in 2021 to prevent discriminatory bills such as these from becoming law, and won. South Carolina, it’s time to speak out again: use these tools to pressure lawmakers to #StopH4776SC by sending a letter to the House speaking against this bill.
