PETITION: Stop LGBT Discrimination in our Schools (Rep. Polis' H.R. 998)

Discrimination based on sexual orientation must come to an end, especially in our schools.

That’s why Rep. Jared Polis introduced H.R. 998, the "Student Non-Discrimination Act" to ensure that we end discrimination based on sexual orientation in schools for good.

The safety of American children should be a bipartisan priority, but from the looks of it, right-wing special interests are already fundraising to block this basic anti-discrimination measure.

In fact, the arch-conservative publication The Weekly Standard sent out a bigoted email calling gay Americans "sexual deviants."

Help us fight back. Sign our petition right now calling for an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation in our schools.
