This morning, senators in the Nebraska Legislature introduced LB89 – which requires Nebraskans to discriminate against our transgender neighbors. Nobody’s equality before the law should ever be put in jeopardy. However, this is exactly what LB89 does.
“LB89 goes way beyond the defeated Sports and Spaces Ban and escalates the potential dangers to our community,” said Abbi Swatsworth, executive director of OutNebraska. “The best approach to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all, both transgender and non-transgender people alike, is not LB89.”
Every Nebraskan deserves the freedom to be ourselves. As a community, we know who we are and politicians have no right to decide that for us. Everyone who loves and values members of the LGBTQ+ community needs to speak up by contacting their senator.
