Winning for LGBTQIA+ Community

In Missouri people are fighting daily for the rights of our amazing LGBTQUIA+ community. We have had some small wins but each and every single day it’s a struggle. However we cannot give up! We must keep fighting! Look at what happened in Georgia, and be reminded of what is possible when we come together and have legislators that actually respect and listen to the people they represent!

“Wave after wave of anti-LGBT bills swept through Georgia this legislative cycle, but according to one state civil rights organization, every single one of them failed.

“After a late night at the Capitol to finish out the 2026 legislative session, we could not be more excited to share that WE DID IT!” announced Georgia Equality on Bluesky. “We successfully defeated ALL of the nearly 15 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation!”

Georgia Equality tracked 2,500 Peach State residents who contacted their legislators and nearly 400 who trekked to the Capitol to fight for LGBTQ rights over the last few weeks.

“This session, we stopped every bill targeting LGBTQ Georgians, even in spite of underhanded political maneuvers,” said Jeff Graham, the group’s executive director.

“Thousands of Georgians from over 60 counties came together to successfully defeat every last one. Despite state leadership fixating on restricting LGBTQ+ rights as their core priority over the past years, we made it clear that scapegoating LGBTQ+ Georgians is not a winning political strategy.” “ *
