Urge SC Lawmakers to Remove Anti-LGBTQ+ Attacks from Budget

The South Carolina Senate has passed its version of the state budget, and included are three anti-LGBTQ "provisos," or amendments that would pass alongside the budget. These three amendments are:

• Amendment 24, which would function as a curriculum censorship bill. The proviso is similar to Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay/Trans" law. 

• Amendment 32, a censorship proposal that seeks to limit public libraries from carrying LGBTQ-related books. 

• Amendment 95, which would block funds for the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at the Medical University of SC.

These anti-LGBTQ attacks must not be allowed to remain in the state budget – and now, we have an opportunity to take action. 

Please join us by signing this petition urging the SC budget conference committee to remove these discriminatory provisos and pass a clean budget that does not harm LGBTQ South Carolinians.
