Looking for some good news at the start of Pride?

We've helped 21 communities across West Virginia adopt local fairness laws that ban discrimination in employment, housing, and public spaces. That's 21 communities who have stood up to say everyone deserves to be treated fairly.

On top of that, we've helped four communities ban the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy!

Let's send some love to these communities! 💛💙
