Forced outing isn’t a theoretical concern— it has and will lead to rejection, discrimination, homelessness, and violence. Educators should not be turned into agents of compulsory disclosure. This ruling revives a dangerous decision and creates real fear for students and families across California.

We cannot adopt the language of MAGA extremists who in the last year are actively seeking to roll back the rights of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and marginalized communities on the basis of what they assert is ‘culturally normal.’ LGBTQ Caucus statement: lgbtqcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/node/218

DEI is about who belongs, who gets opportunity, who gets to thrive. Today, our LGBTQ Caucus Chair Chris Ward and Caucus Member Caroline Menjivar spoke in support of SCR 89 to affirm that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are not optional add-ons, but essential foundations of the American Dream. 1/2

Our LGBTQ Caucus Members were hard at work this Monday standing up for Californians by defending access to health care when Planned Parenthood clinics saw national Republicans defund them, and calling out Donald Trump’s racism.
