A pledge to defend the dignity, safety, and rights of all people, no matter who they are or whom they love.
Across our state and our country, politicians are reviving old attacks and inventing new ones against LGBTQ+ people, especially trans youth. These attacks don’t reflect the values of freedom, fairness, or decency. They distract from real problems like the cost of living, healthcare access, and public safety, and instead target people just trying to live their lives.
We reject that kind of politics. We believe that no one should lose their rights, their healthcare, their livelihood, or their dignity because of who they are.
We sign this petition to say, loud and clear:
✅ LGBTQ+ people belong here.
✅ Families with LGBTQ+ kids deserve safety and support.
✅ No one should face discrimination in school, at work, in housing, or in healthcare.
✅ Politicians must stop using fear and division to score points.
This is not about left or right. This is about right and wrong. We are neighbors. We are Tennesseans. We stand together.
Add your name and show that in Washington County, and across East Tennessee, decency still matters!
