June is Pride Month, and the AFT is proud to be a union that fights for the rights and well-being of everyone, as we have done since our founding. The past few years have been tough; while recovering from the havoc COVID-19 wreaked on society, we have also been fighting anti-LGBTQIA+ laws like the “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida and the anti-transgender laws in multiple states. The majority of the books banned in schools all over the country are those with gay and other LGBTQIA+ characters. However, the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people throughout the history of the United States cannot be erased, and we will continue to fight for the rights and safety of LGBTQIA+ people and families this month and every month. Below you will find AFT articles, resources, resolutions and more, all related to the work we and our members are doing to continue our fight for civil and human rights.
