Protect LGBTQ+ Teens in New Hampshire

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.
    • Public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, 3/7 at 9 a.m. in Senate Education

  • HB 10: establishing the parental bill of rights:
    • 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

    • Public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, 3/7 at 1:15 pm in House Children and Family Law

  • HB 417: relative to the definition of child abuse:
    • HB 417 calls gender affirming care as child abuse.
    • Public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, 3/7 at 10:45 am in House Children and Family Law
  • 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:

      • ​​​(1) bans gender transition health care for minors under 18 years old

      • (2) bans affirmation or education related to being transgender or nonbinary in public schools

      • and (3) brings back conversion therapy.

    • Public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, 3/7 at 10:00 a.m. in House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs
