We shouldn’t still be debating marriage equality in 2022. The Senate must pass the Respect for Marriage Act to ensure we don't move backwards.

Something truly awful that we encountered today talking to ppl on Riggs Ave.--a man says his little girls were playing in the flowing fire hydrant water yesterday in the street, bc there was no signage or communication from @BaltimoreDPW that it was harmful. He's livid.

What does equality look like? Equality is when we ALL have the freedom to make decisions over our own bodies. #WomensEqualityDay2022 #BansOffOurBodies
🧵 It’s been two months since the Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. Since then, 11 states have ELIMINATED access: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.
Under the #AffordableCareAct, denying medical care to a #transgender person is illegal. But many #trans people are still being discriminated against. It’s time to #ProtectTransHealth. Take action: protecttranshealth.org

This bill is also being introduced in state legislatures & it’s precisely why the MD General Assembly should’ve passed the Trans Health Equity Act THIS year. Sadly it was never brought to the House floor & all record of committee votes disappeared from the MGA website. – at Montgomery Village, MD
Marjorie Taylor Green just announced a bill to make gender affirming care for trans teens a class C felony NATIONALLY. Tucker Carlson says he will pressure every Republican to join. It has no chance of passing the next 2 years, but this is their plan if they win in 2024.

We published a report last week with @CCDHate showing how tech companies are allowing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric & disinformation to spread. Today, "grooming" is trending as people tweet false, discriminatory content promoting anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment. @Twitter — why are you silent?

Thank you Delegate @GabrielAcevero, @Indy_Tweeter, @FreeStateLGBTQ, and other advocates for speaking in support of Maryland students' right to a diverse education -- because all children deserve to see themselves reflected in their own curriculum.

Rest In Power, Taya. @FreeStateLGBTQ passed a bill last session banning anti-LGBTQ panic defense. Unfortunately, that does not stop attacks on the community. metroweekly.com/2021/07/mary…

(1/5) We've been shocked to read about the HIV misinformation and homophobic statements made at a recent DaBaby show. This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic. The facts are:

Today we honor the memory of those murdered because of anti-transgender prejudice and hate. Thank you to @MCPS student Reuben Pegues, founder of Black Kid Speaks Empowerment Movement, for helping the Council recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance in Montgomery County. #TDOR

Today the Health & Human Services Committee voted in support of my legislation to protect LGBTQ+ seniors as they age. The LGBTQ Bill of Rights will ensure that our elders and individuals with HIV feel safe in personal care facilities. Hate has no place in healthcare.
