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!
If interested you can email our founder Gabriel Paxton at paxtong2@winthrop.edu
Keep the fight going!
