The New Hampshire Legislature is considering four bills that would harm LGBTQ+ teens in New Hampshire, with hearings being held on Tuesday, March 7 at the State House in Concord. View actions below to find out how you can get involved; check out 603 Equality and ACLU NH for more information.
Visibility Events:
- Tuesday, March 7 at 8am at the State House to support LGBTQ+ youth in New Hampshire and oppose anti-trans youth bills.
Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills Being Heard on 3/7/23 that PPNHAF OPPOSES:
- SB 272: establishing a parents' bill of rights in education:
- SB 272 would cause negative impacts to LGBTQ+ teens. This bill would erode the trust they have with their educators – with someone who they might trust at school – and could lead educators and schools forcibly outing students to their families before the students might be ready.
- Our schools should protect all students—including LGBTQ students—so they can learn and thrive in a safe environment. The extreme politicians behind these attacks are trying to force schools to violate that most basic trust.

HB 10 would also cause negative impacts to LGBTQ+ teens in schools. This bill would erode the trust they have with their educators – with someone who they might trust at school – and could lead educators and schools forcibly outing students to their families before the students might be ready

- HB 619: prohibiting gender transition procedures for minors, relative to sex and gender in public schools, and relative to the definition of conversion therapy:

HB 619 is a trifecta of terrible transgender policies. This bill:

(2) bans affirmation or education related to being transgender or nonbinary in public schools
-
and (3) brings back conversion therapy.
