Our LGBTQIA+ youth in Utah need and deserve to be loved and seen for who they are. The year 2023 has been exceptionally terrifying for the LGBTQIA+ community across this nation. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) provides a map of the U.S. showing over 450 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills from 2023 that have already passed or have been introduced. It is not surprising that Utah state Sen. Michael S. Kennedy (Republican) sponsored SB16, which is a direct attack on transgender youth. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox already signed the harmful bill into law that bans gender-affirming health care for transgender people under the age of 18. Basic human rights are now gone due to a small percentage of politicians who are unaware. Our trans youth deserve better. Our LGBTQIA+ community deserves a safe space at all times and in all places. We live in scary times. We are regressing.
