Next year, the Supreme Court will hear two cases regarding bans on trans youth participating in school sports. That’s why HRC helped Congress tell the Supreme Court what we already know to be true: Every kid deserves the opportunity to play sports free from discrimination.
On a pink and blue gradient background with HRC logo, navy and white text reads, "Sports are for everyone."

“So much of me is made of what I’ve learned from you.”

Bowen Yang is right: Sharing our stories and letting others get to know us is how we make progress…for good.

RFK Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services continued its assault on science, truth, and the trans community with a new report that serves no other purpose than to put politicians in the middle of families and doctors.

This is far from a scientific review — it’s a political document.
Man who tells you not to listen to his medical advice releases sham anti-trans "report" that ignores science. Image of RFK Jr. appears below.

Instead of fearmongering about the LGBTQ+ community, Congress should use its power to expose those who gave cover to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful, well-connected accomplices.

The survivors of these unspeakable horrors deserve nothing less.
