In a world where discrimination persists and violence against LGBTQ+ individuals is on the rise, we must unite for change. It’s time to demand the preservation of individual freedom and rights of all LGBTQ+ people.
In 2020, hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people in the United States surged by 17%, marking the largest annual increase since the FBI began tracking hate crimes in 1992. Discrimination still runs rampant in housing and employment, affecting 40% of LGBTQ+ individuals in housing and 35% in employment. Furthermore, 40% of LGBTQ+ youth have experienced homelessness compared to 13% for their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts.
By signing this petition, you join a movement to pressure legislators to support legislation that upholds these principles and ensures that LGBTQ+ individuals enjoy the same freedoms as anyone else. It’s time to push back against the discrimination, violence, and exclusion that have plagued our society for far too long.
Urge your legislators to champion LGBTQ+ rights! Demand legislative support for comprehensive anti-discrimination laws and policies that protect the individual rights of LGBTQ+ people.
