Another day another Republican anti-trans bill moving in the Arizona Legislature. “This bill (HB1094) is just an attempt to wring more political capital out of attacking trans people.” — Rep. Patty Contreras.

“It’s a bill that’s been run for the past few years, and it’s the only bill for a license plate that has not received a hearing,” said Rep. Lorena Austin, Arizona’s first openly non-binary lawmaker

“We uplift the worth and dignity of every transgender person.” Rep. Patty Contreras and @AZHouseDems acknowledge #TransgenderDayOfVisibility.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility from your Arizona House Democrats!✨⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

“It makes me sick to my stomach to continue to have these bills heard.” Assistant Democratic Leader Nancy Gutierrez is not the only one. House Democrats spoke against this spiteful bill attempting to reach voters after multiple vetoes.

“There is nothing wrong with me and there’s nothing wrong with these kids who are just trying to figure out who they are.” — Rep. @LorenaAustin4Az shares her personal journey once again to oppose yet another bill to make school unsafe for LGBTQ kids. #HB2249

Terrible news, but thank you for decades of service to our community @PrideTucson.

Today we honor the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. Bigotry has no place in Arizona and our caucus is dedicated to fighting to make our state a place where everyone is safe to be their authentic selves.

Ten years later, the far-right is still coming for marriage equality. SCOTUS said no (this time), but they’ll try again. That's why I proudly helped pass the Respect for Marriage Act codifying marriage equality & why I'm working to pass the Equality Act. apnews.com/article/suprem…

🚨 Today, SCOTUS takes up a case on conversion therapy for minors. Every major medical group agrees: this practice is dangerous and discredited. SCOTUS must uphold Colorado’s ban to protect #LGBTQ kids.
