From The People's Movement: Things You Should Do To Protect Yourself And Others When Protesting

Some proof that there ARE elected officials out there, like Vice Mayor Sean Cummings in Oklahoma, who are standing up for LGBTQ+ youth like Nex Benedict and calling out the fact that our words and rhetoric DO matter.

Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.

If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.

This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

Iowa's governor signed a bill that makes discrimination against LGBTQ+ folks legal by removing them as a protected class. This is the first state to do so and sadly we will likely see other states follow suit.
