3. Mandate health insurance coverage for healthcare for the transgender community.
4. Improve anti-bullying laws in Pennsylvania to help protect LGBTQ+ youth.
5. Reduce LGBTQ+ youth homelessness through promotion of safe houses and scholarship opportunities for homeless LGBTQ+ youth.
6. Keep Pennsylvania's elections open, fair, and accessible to all eligible voters.
7. Protect LGBTQ+ older adults.
8. Reduce suicide by LGBTQ+ people in Pennsylvania.
