LGBTQ-Supportive Parents in SC – Add Your Name!
In South Carolina, lawmakers and anti-LGBTQ+ forces are preparing their latest legislative and political attacks on the LGBTQ+ community ahead of 2022, again by specifically targeting trans and queer youth.
A key strategy of these groups pushing discriminatory policies is to elevate a small group of extreme anti-LGBTQ parents, who are attempting to speak for ALL South Carolina parents. We can’t let that happen. It’s up to parents who support LGBTQ+ equality to speak out and share our stories.
We need to hear from all sorts of parents – parents of LGBTQ+ kids, parents of non-LGBTQ+ kids, and parents who are LGBTQ+ themselves! We are building a roster of parents and allies who are ready to take action in South Carolina, whether that’s by testifying against discriminatory bills, speaking to the press about their support for equality, or sharing their story online.
We can’t let the loudest, most extreme voices drown out the majority of South Carolinians who support dignity, respect, and equality for all LGBTQ+ people.
