Moms for Liberty | GLAAD
Moms For Liberty was founded in January 2021 claiming it will “organize, educate and empower parents to defend their parental rights.” This advocacy has included calls for book bans, classroom censorship, and bans on teaching about slavery, race, racism and…
It is quiet right now so let me brief you on where we are as a state on LGBTQIA2S rights. Currently there are 3 bills in the legislator.
HB138 Seeks to set problematic definitions for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Variant people, and seeks to take away intersex peoples rights to an identity. It sets definitions on gender based on gonads. It is sponsored by Paul Schemel (R), Joseph D'Orsie (R), Barbara Gleim (R), Joe Hamm (R), Thomas Jones (R), Robert Kauffman (R), Dawn Keefer (R), Robert Leadbeter (R), Clinton Owlett (R), David Rowe (R), Stephenie Scialabba (R), Craig Staats (R), David Zimmerman (R), Doyle Heffley (R), and Leslie Rossi (R)
HB216 Regulates who can participate in which school athletics program based on Male, Female, and coed definitions. It strictly enforces gender segregation and would take away athletic opportunities altogether for Transgender, Non-Binary, Gender Variant, and Intersex people in school districts and colleges that don't offer coed athletics programs. It is sponsored by Barbara Gleim (R), Martina White (R), Dawn Keefer (R), Stephanie Borowicz (R), Milou Mackenzie (R), Keith Greiner (R), Perry Stambaugh (R), Robert James (R), Melinda Fee (R), Brian Smith (R), Joe Hamm (R), Robert Kauffman (R), David Rowe (R), David Zimmerman (R), Craig Staats (R), Dan Moul (R), Tina Pickett (R), Torren Ecker (R), Mark Gillen (R), Bradley Roae (R), Steven Mentzer (R), Clinton Owlett (R), Rich Irvin (R), Barry Jozwiak (R), Robert Leadbeter (R), Stephenie Scialabba (R), Thomas Jones (R), Jill Cooper (R), Donna Scheuren (R), Joanne Stehr (R), Tim Twardzik (R), James Barton (R), Wendy Fink (R)
HB319 Is Pennsylvania's version of the "Don't Say Gay" law. It would ban the teaching of lgbtqia people, their identities, and history in schools across the State of Pennsylvania in kindergarten through 5th grade. It is written in away that easily allows for an amendment to expand those bans all the way to 12th grade like what was passed in Florida. The books that would be banned would include picture books where a child has two mothers or two fathers. A book about 2 Male Penguins at the Bronx Zoo who raised a baby chick together. It would ban any book where the character is transgender, non-binary, or gender variant. It would ban teaching about the actual lives of some of our states children and why they have two parents of the same gender, or why some kid's parents may not be a mother or a father. It would erase the ability for teachers to affirm and validate our children when they choose for themselves to explore gender identity. It is sponsored by Stephanie Borowicz (R), Bradley Roae (R), Milou Mackenzie (R), Robert Kauffman (R), Ryan Mackenzie (R), Craig Staats (R), Joe Hamm (R), Clinton Owlett (R), Robert James (R), Robert Leadbeter (R), Wendy Fink (R), David Zimmerman (R), Barbara Gleim (R), David Rowe (R), Dawn Keefer (R), Stephenie Scialabba (R), Ryan Warner (R), Brian Smith (R), Marla Gallo Brown (R), Paul Schemel (R), Donna Scheuren (R), Charity Grimm Krupa (R), Keith Greiner (R)
Now you know who to make sure doesn't get to walk around Pennsylvania without hearing anger, outrage, and exclusion for prescribing exclusion, silence, harassment, and violence onto LGBTQIA2S children and families. When human rights are under attack, we will stand up and fight back!

Martina White serves in Philly in PA house 170, make sure you don't let her forget about what she has done to children. She is no longer welcome in our city after attempting to ban children from playing sports. Segregationists deserve to be banned from our community. She won't let children experience the life of a child, so she won't be able to go out in public in this city anymore without experiencing public shame for her actions. This is her face. Don't forget it. Segregation is wrong whether it is about race, gender, disability, etc. Transgender rights are human rights. Don't let her forget it.
