Our message is simple and unwavering: Queer people deserve full equality, dignity, and safety. Our rights are not negotiable. Yet, the political movement led by Donald Trump represents a clear and present danger to the hard-won progress of the LGBTQ+ community and threatens our very existence in public life.
We are standing up to say NO MORE. We will not be pushed back into the closet. We will not stand by while our rights are dismantled. We must actively oppose Trump and the anti-equality agenda he champions.
The threat is multifaceted and deeply concerning:
Policy Attacks: During his presidency, we saw targeted attacks, such as attempts to ban transgender patriots from military service, the erosion of non-discrimination protections in healthcare and federal contracts, and the appointment of officials openly hostile to LGBTQ+ equality.
Dangerous Rhetoric: Trump and his allies have consistently used dehumanizing language against queer people, particularly targeting the transgender community, fueling stigma, disinformation, and real-world violence.
Judicial Appointments: His appointments of judges with anti-LGBTQ+ records pose a lasting threat to landmark victories like marriage equality and could undermine future progress for decades.
Opposition to Protections: The active opposition to crucial legislation like the Equality Act demonstrates a fundamental rejection of the principle that LGBTQ+ Americans deserve the same federal protections as everyone else.
This isn't just politics; it's about our lives, our families, our safety, and our right to be ourselves without fear. The agenda associated with Donald Trump seeks to erase queer people from public life, deny us essential healthcare, invalidate our relationships, and make us targets for discrimination and hate.
We call on all people of conscience, all defenders of human rights, and especially elected officials to:
Publicly Denounce Anti-LGBTQ+ Rhetoric: Unequivocally condemn the harmful and dangerous language used by Donald Trump and his political allies against the queer community.
Commit to Protecting LGBTQ+ Rights: Actively champion and defend policies that protect LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination in all areas of life, including employment, housing, healthcare, and education.
Pass the Equality Act: Demand the immediate passage of comprehensive federal non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ Americans.
Oppose Anti-Equality Candidates: Pledge to oppose and refuse support for any political candidate who promotes discrimination or seeks to roll back LGBTQ+ rights.
Affirm Support for the Queer Community: Make visible and vocal statements of solidarity, affirming that queer rights are human rights and that the LGBTQ+ community is an integral part of our society.
Your signature is an act of resistance. It declares your solidarity with queer people. It sends a clear message that you oppose the hateful agenda linked to Donald Trump and that you will fight for our rights.
Stand with us. Sign this petition NOW. Share it urgently. Let's build an undeniable coalition demanding equality, dignity, and safety for all queer people. Our voices together are louder than their hate. We are not gonna sit around waiting for change. LET'S MAKE IT.
