MassEquality is the leading statewide grassroots advocacy organization working to ensure that everyone across Massachusetts can thrive from cradle to grave without discrimination&oppression based on sexual orientation, gender identity,or gender expression
Huge thank you to our legislative allies for sending An Act Regarding Free Expression to the Governor's desk! At a time when our stories are being targeted by censorship, Massachusetts is taking a stand to safeguard intellectual freedom & ensure everyone can see themselves reflected on our shelves.
On the last day of Pride Month, the Supreme Court has once again targeted transgender youth. We remain committed to fighting for a future where every LGBTQ+ person can live with dignity, safety, and belonging. Read MassEquality's full statement: massequality.org/massequality...
If only Congressman Moulton brought this same energy back in 2024 when he said "I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that" perhaps we wouldn't be here
Every young person deserves to learn and play sports alongside their peers without being targeted for who they are. Today’s SCOTUS decision is a painful reminder of the work we still need to do to protect the transgender community from these blanket bans that continue to attack their freedom.
