TAKE ACTION FOR LGBTQ+ RIGHTS
Tell the FCC by June 22: LGBTQ+ Stories Don’t Need a Warning Label
Under this administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is attempting to tell American families what is appropriate to watch and they are targeting LGBTQ stories specifically.
In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC asked whether new TV ratings should be created for “transgender and gender non-binary programming” and “the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes.”
Defend Maine’s LGBTQ+ Youth
Every kid deserves the chance to feel safe and supported at school without fear of being bullied or harassed for who they are.
The billionaire-funded anti-trans ballot question would take that chance away from some of the most vulnerable kids in Maine. The fight isn’t over. Join us in pushing back against anti-trans political attacks across the state.
Submit Public Comment in Support of Safe Housing for LGBTQ+ People by June 29!
On April 28, the Trump administration announced a proposal to rescind the Equal Access Rule (EAR), which guarantees equal access to programs and services funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. We’re fighting back!
Tell Your Reps: Respect the Right to Read LGBTQ+ Stories
A bill proposing the nationwide ban of LGBTQ+ stories in public schools and public libraries was just introduced. It would give politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on our shelves and what media people are allowed to access.
Tell Your Senators: Vote No on “Don’t Say Trans”
On May 20, the U.S. House of Representative passed HR 2616, a federal version of the “Don’t Say Trans” bills harming trans and gender diverse students in states across the country. We need you to tell your senators to vote NO on HR 2616.
