Tell the Department of Health and Human Services that LGBTQ discrimination in
healthcare is NOT OK! [[link removed]]

SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW! » [[link removed]]Hi Friend,

Another day, another vicious attack on the rights of the LGBTQ community by the
Trump-Pence Administration.

A proposed regulation from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
would strip away explicit healthcare protections on the basis of gender
identity, effectively targeting transgender and gender non-conforming people’s
access to critical care.

Join HRC in fighting to STOP this harmful and discriminatory regulation by
speaking out. We need to collect and submit as many messages as we can — take a
few minutes to tell HHS exactly what you think of this proposal.

We’re not going to mince words here: Erasing these protections from discrimination on the basis of gender identity
is not only discriminatory but against the public health and the mission of HHS.

Under the Obama Administration, these landmark protections were added under
section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. This was the first time sex was covered
as a protected class in healthcare and has proven to be a critical step towards
ending the health disparities that continue to plague the LGBTQ community.

This dangerous Trump-Pence proposal is designed to undermine all of that —
placing the LGBTQ community at an increased risk for discrimination and
harassment when seeking healthcare.

We’re talking about people … our friends … our family members … our colleagues
and neighbors. We’re talking about people like you and me.

Please share your comments to HHS TODAY and work with us to defend access to
healthcare for all and fight back against discrimination.

Let’s shut down this harmful proposal — and let’s do it together.

Thank you,
