The governor of Mississippi just signed a new "religious freedom" bill that is one of the worst setbacks for LGBTQ rights ever. It legalizes sweeping discrimination against transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, and gender nonconforming people, allowing business owners to deny them service. It goes on to say that a person's gender is "determined by anatomy and genetics at time of birth," essentially criminalizing transgender people and ensuring they will not have access to safe bathrooms and other public facilities.

Hate-filled laws like this are a form of violence against the LGBTQ community. They must be stopped. Sign the petition right now and let's fight for basic dignity and respect for all.
