Lucas --
This past summer, the country mourned the lives of LGBT youth who committed suicide after relentless bullying in public schools.
Discrimination based on sexual orientation must come to an end, especially in our schools. That's why I 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.
Just last week, the arch-conservative publication, The Weekly Standard sent out a bigoted email calling gay Americans "sexual deviants."
Will you add your name to our petition calling for an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation in our schools today?
Bullying from school children is bad enough -- but bullying from radical right-wing adults is especially reprehensible. We can't afford to lose another LGBT American from hate filled speech and conservative extremism.
We must stand together on behalf of LGBT youth.
