I recently finished a major site update. I uploaded an additional 200 or so resource documents. I also added folders for personal stories, Spanish language documents and one for faith communities. A large number of documents deal with school and social transition while attending school with samples of how to approach the school’s administration. Under the tab”Blog Posts and Updates” all of the new documents are listed.

This website is updated every Monday with information on bills across the country that affect LGBT rights, including:

• Affirmative Nondiscrimination Bills
• Harmful anti-LGBT Bills
• Religious Exemption Bills
• Bills Pre-Empting Local Protections
• Other anti-LGBT Bills

Each listing has a link to the bill on that state’s legislative site. The full text of the bill and its progress through the legislator is detailed.
