South Carolina's Alliance for Full Acceptance (AFFA) has launched a new billboard campaign to support the LGBTQ+ community and trans kids in the state. The campaign is called "God Loves Trans Kids and LGBTQ+ People," and it aims to bring attention to recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being proposed in the state.
Recently, several bills have been proposed in South Carolina that would negatively impact the LGBTQ+ community. These bills include the so-called "Save Women's Sports Act," which would ban transgender girls and women from participating in women's sports at the high school and college levels. Another bill would prevent transgender people from changing their gender marker on their birth certificate, making it difficult for them to access healthcare and other services.
AFFA's billboard campaign is designed to counter these harmful proposals and show support for trans kids and LGBTQ+ people. The billboards, which are located throughout the state, feature the message "God Loves Trans Kids," along with the AFFA logo and other supportive graphics.
The campaign has already received significant attention and support from the South Carolina community and beyond. Many LGBTQ+ advocates and allies have praised the campaign for its positive and affirming message and its emphasis on love and acceptance.
According to AFFA Executive Director Chase Glenn, the campaign is about more than just billboards. "Our goal is to create a culture of acceptance and love for all people, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation," he said. "We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we will continue to fight for that principle every day."
In addition to the billboard campaign, AFFA is also working to support LGBTQ+ people in South Carolina in other ways. The organization provides resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth and adults, including counseling, advocacy, and education. It also works to promote LGBTQ+ rights and equality through legislative advocacy and community outreach.
Overall, AFFA's billboard campaign is a powerful example of how love and acceptance can overcome hate and discrimination. By showing support for trans kids and LGBTQ+ people, the campaign sends a clear message that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. And by working to create a culture of love and acceptance in South Carolina, AFFA is helping to build a brighter and more inclusive future for all.
