Urge South Carolina Lawmakers: No Attacks on LGBTQ Youth!
South Carolina is facing one of the biggest onslaughts of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in the country.
And top of the list for anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers is a series of bills that directly target the safety and privacy of LGBTQ+ youth. These bills – S.234, H.3197, and H.3485 – amount to an anti-LGBTQ+ wishlist of attacks on queer youth.
If passed, the provisions in these bills would endanger and directly harm thousands of LGBTQ+ young people across the state by:
Blocking students’ freedom to learn;
Banning discussion of LGBTQ+ identity, and often racial justice, in schools;
Forcing school staff to “out” LGBTQ+ students to parents;
Interfering with young people’s access to life-saving medical care
Send a message to your lawmakers now opposing any and all legislation attacking LGBTQ+ youth in South Carolina.
