In 2026, the Alabama Senate tried to take away our rights. You helped stop them, but our struggle isn't over.
With your help, we’ve significantly slowed the deluge of anti-trans and anti-queer bills every year since 2023 — and, with your help, we did in 2026 too. Here’s the legislation we tracked in 2026:
House Bill 23 / Senate Bill 331, primarily an extension of "Don't Say Gay" through 12th grade, would've further isolated queer and trans youth at an already vulnerable time in their lives, sanctioned bullying from their peers, and made it even more difficult for queer and trans educators to be hired in Alabama. It would've also required teachers to misgender trans students, and banned pride flags in classrooms. It did not pass.
Senate Bill 3 / Senate Bill 209 was an "abstinence only until marriage" sex education bill. It prevents school sex education classes from teaching about consent, STI avoidance, contraception, and gender. It takes Alabama's curriculum on these issues further from best practices agreed on by leading medical associations. It is now law.
