Instead, picture a South Carolina where every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, is not only free from discrimination in the workplace, but is also when purchasing or renting a home, in public accommodations such as hotels and restaurants, when applying for credit, or if the need arises for home health and hospice care. This vision, fueled by your passion and generosity, has the power to transform not just policies but lives in this state we call home. South Carolina is still one of many states that lacks comprehensive protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, leaving us vulnerable to many forms of discrimination. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, the urgency to pass the Uniform Anti-Discrimination Bill, H. 3738, providing non-discrimination protections in South Carolina has never been greater as our opponents become more vocal about their narrow views. Your past contributions have been essential in helping us advocate for this legislation and now we invite you to join us again as we urge the General Assembly to pass this important bill. We believe that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, should have these rights. No one should be fired from their job, denied a place to live, or turned away from a business simply because of who they are or who they love. By making a generous donation today, you contribute directly to breaking down barriers and creating a more equitable future for all. We cannot do it without you. Our work requires more than just advocacy, it also requires the education to increase public understanding, awareness, and support for these non-discrimination policies. It’s our job. But we can’t do it alone. Please consider making a generous contribution before the end of the year. Your donation will help us foster an environment where everyone is judged on their effort, abilities, and contributions, rather than their identity. Your commitment will make a significant impact on the lives of LGBTQ+ people in South Carolina and will contribute to a more just and inclusive state. Thank you for standing with us in this crucial fight. Together, we can break down barriers and build a South Carolina where everyone is treated equally with dignity and respect.
