Human Rights Campaign: U.S. Supreme Court Must Reject Discrimination Against LGBTQ+ Parents

WASHINGTON — In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to hear a challenge to Colorado’s policy that prohibits public funds going to preschools that discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, the Human Rights Campaign released the following statement: 

“All students deserve to be accepted at school and treated equally regardless of their or their family members’ sexual orientation or gender identity,” said HRC President Kelley Robinson. “To give public dollars to preschools that openly treat students with LGBTQ+ parents differently is state backed discrimination and has no place in Colorado or everywhere else. Colorado’s policy is sound and responsible, but this case is part of a dangerous, escalating path that takes aim at LGBTQ+ children, parents, and entire family units. This must stop.”

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community.
