ICYMI: We're challenging @HHSGov's newly-published rule that would carve LGBTQ people and other vulnerable groups out of the Affordable Care Act's non-discrimination protections. #StopTheRule #ProtectTransHealth

From @TrevorProject: The rule will “adversely affect the mental health of at-risk #LGBTQ youth, many of whom are already reaching out to [us] in moments of suicidal ideation or crisis, in part because of their lack of faith in healthcare providers.”
