Welcome to night 4 & 5 of our Legislative Focus week over LGBTQ+ issues. Tonight we will cover expanding statewide Transgender healthcare protections and decriminalizing HIV & sex work in Missouri.

Please join in and follow along! 🏳️‍🌈
Over 1.1 million LGBTQ+ Americans rely on Medicaid for vital healthcare, so expanding Medicaid in Missouri was such a vital step for many LGBTQ+ Missourians.
However, in Missouri, there are still restrictions on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients, that we must work hard to remove.

Passing MONA finally would also go towards strengthening public accommodations for LGBTQ+ Missourians.

Welcome to Night 3 of our Legislative Focus week over LGBTQ+ rights here in Missouri. Tonight’s topic will cover Gay-Straight Alliances for our students and implementing Trans-Affirming policies in our schools. Here we go! #ShowMePride #lgbtq
In #moleg in 2020, HB 1565 was filed in an attempt to restrict Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA’s), inclusive LGBTQ curriculum and more.

That bill was stopped, so our school districts can continue to have control in their support for our LGBTQ students.
For the first year this year, a proactive LGBTQ policy was filed. It was an inclusive LGBTQ curriculum bill, so our 6-12 grade students can receive support through GSA’s, and LGBTQ history would be added as a core part of curriculum for all students.
