Reject Discriminatory SB1003, Support LGBTQ+ Students' Rights

SB1003 proposes to prohibit transgender and non-binary students from using restrooms and changing facilities that correspond with their gender identity in Arizona public schools. Such discriminatory measures marginalize vulnerable youth and perpetuate harmful stigma against LGBTQ+ students. Schools should provide inclusive accommodations for all students based on guidelines from major education and child welfare organizations. This bill should be rejected in favor of policies creating safe, affirming environments where LGBTQ+ students can thrive.
