A great service that our director is working with.

In celebration of PRIDE and Juneteenth, RPYA brings you Queering Racial Equity Summit. Closing Keynote: Blossom C. Brown

"A state law that limits or denies a particular class of people's ability to participate in public, federally funded educational programs and activities solely ...because their gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth violates both Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause," the filing said. The state law "does exactly this," the department said. https://www.pbs.org//department-of-justice-says-west-virgi

On this June 1st, the first day of Pride Month, Mother Nature blessed us with a beautiful double rainbow, signifying the colorful nature of the LGBTQ+ community.... However, today came bearing some less colorful news. In my home state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis signed an anti-trans bill into law. He said, In Florida, girls are going to play girls sports and boys are going to play boys sports. As someone who has experienced discrimination in sports, it makes me feel terrible about the message that laws like this send out to transgender youth. Here’s my message to all LGBTQ+ people everywhere: you deserve to be loved and respected regardless of you gender identity or sexual orientation. They may try to take away our sports, our healthcare, and our rights, but they can’t take away our #PRIDE! See more

With all of the anti trans legislation going on in sports, here’s a reminder to all those trans youth and adults trying to just play like everyone else. Don’t ...back down! Fight for your right to play! Good people stand behind you! #transathletes #transrights #LGBT #trans #transgender #transgenderfitness See more

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, the message from the United States is clear: everyone deserves dignity and equality, no matter who they are or whom they love. We’re committed to advancing LGBTQ+ rights here at home and around the world.
