fas·cism:
an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
Recently, the NH Senate passed SB 272. This bill REQUIRES those who are employed in the school systems to contact the parents of an LGBTQ student and inform them of their child’s preferred gender identity and use of preferred pronouns. In the event of an intolerable house hold, this could be a potentially dangerous situation for the child!
This bill will go on to the House for a vote after April 1. Meanwhile, a different bill is being voted on in the House today. HB 417 will now include “gender affirming care” as a form of child abuse. If passed, a child’s PARENTS can be charged with abuse if they attempt to get that specific kind of healthcare for their child. According to various mental health organizations, the American Medical Association and doctors throughout the country this should be the standard of care for young people who are transgender.
Why would anyone deliberately want to put a loving and supportive parent in the position of choosing jail or helping their child?
Please take a moment to contact your representatives in the House and Senate and let them know you oppose these bills because of the potential danger they would bring to LGBTQ children.
