Rock Hill for Equality has been dormant for some time now. The founders have gone their own ways and have ventured into groups with similar motives and goals in their respective communities. However, following what has transpired in the past 24 hours in Orlando, RH4E would like to reopen its doors and continue to fight with, and on the behalf of the LGBTQA community. The atrocity committed in Orlando, Fl is indicative of a greater systemic hate against the LGBTQA community. Aside from legislation on gun control, we at RH4E believe that it is imperative to push for local and state anti-discrimination ordinances as well as fight for the election of pro-LGBTQA candidates. We will continue to fight for you, the people. We are sorry for the recent inactivity, however no longer will we stand idle as LGBTQA citizens are persecuted, executed and discriminated against. Continue to pray and think about the families of the souls lost in Orlando, but remember that it will take legislation and your voice to make a difference.

Hello friends, followers, and supporters of Rock Hill for Equality! It has been a while since you guys have heard from us, but we have not been anything but busy. In the past months Rock Hill for Equality has met with many politicians in the past election trying to lobby and shape their opinion on LGBTQA rights! We have had some successes and some failures, but ultimately thanks to the circuit court same-sex marriage is now legal in SC. But Rock Hill for Equality is not done! There are still an abundance of issues that must be addressed before equality can truly be achieved in SC. First we need an LGBTQA anti-discrimination bill to protect the lives of LGBTQA citizens. Second we need the law of SC to recognize and prosecute for hate crimes against LGBTQA citizens. We will be launching an initiative in the next few weeks and would love volunteers/ interns to help!

Keep the fight going!
