We need your voice!

Across Ohio, anti-LGBTQ+ laws have forced school districts to adopt new policies, but what’s actually happening inside classrooms and school communities?

We want to hear from those that are impacted the most: students, educators, school-based mental health providers, parents, and caregivers. Your voice and story matter!

This survey is completely anonymous, and your responses will directly shape advocacy to protect LGBTQ+ students and school community members in the 2026–2027 school year.

Today is International Drag Day — a day to celebrate and recognize the art of drag all around the world!

The history of drag performances dates all the way back to Ancient Greek theatre; and today, drag performers span multiple races, religions, nationalities, cultures, s*xual orientations, and gender identities. Drag is self-expression. Drag is art. Drag is not a crime. It’s entertainment.

Thank You

For speaking out for trans youth, their families, and their medical providers!

YOUR comments made a difference!

HHS & CMS abandoned rules proposed last year that would effectively ban gender-affirming care for trans youth Nation-wide.

Please keep up the allyship & advocacy!

Reminder to Our Allies

It’s okay to redirect!

The trans community does not need you to center trans people in your political discourse.
Honestly, most of us would really prefer public figures and the government just leave us alone.

Please don’t steer into transphobia.
It’s not neutral or a middle ground to say we are unimportant - there is no middle ground when it comes to others’ humanity!

You can say you think the state / campaign / program / group / etc. should be focused on housing, healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc., without putting trans people down.
