Last weekend, we teamed up with GLAAD, Shelly's Voice and many more to host the Rally for Equality in protest of a new policy from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis that would ban transgender students from more than 60 Catholics schools.
The policy in Indianapolis is just one piece of a movement of discrimination against transgender people. Already, we know that similar policies have been implemented in the Archdiocese of Springfield, Illinois and statewide in Minnesota and Ohio. We're preparing a letter to send to Archbishop Christophe Pierre, the current Papal Nuncio, Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi, Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education, Archbishop José Gomez, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and other key officials. We're asking them to put a stop to these attacks on transgender people. Already more than 700 have added their name to the letter. Will you join them? Photo Credit: MICHELLE PEMBERTON/INDYSTAR
