Pass the Equality Act: Discriminatory rhetoric and laws are devastating to LGBTQ youth: “When LGBTQ young people see clips of elected officials berating transgender people or hear about policies that would prevent them from living openly as their true self,it can be extremely difficult to process, contribute to internalized stigma, and negatively impact one’s mental health and sense of self. Feeling like you need to defend your existence,particularly when these violent attacks are coming from those in positions of power, can be incredibly painful and terrifying. And many young people may find they don’t absorb the strength, and support,or resources to enact so.” our CEO Amit Paley on the importance of the #EqualityAct
