As we celebrate the 5th anniversary of Marriage Equality in Iowa
LGBT Iowa families still struggle for equality.
One Iowa leads the equality fight for LGBT Iowans and their families.
- One Iowa works to protect the civil rights of LGBT families by:
- Fighting for fair courts that will protect our rights, including the freedom to marry
- Countering arguments of “religious liberty” that threaten our access to public venues, and challenge businesses that refuse to serve LGBT people
- One Iowa works to keep LGBT families healthy by:
- Successfully modernizing Iowa's punitive HIV law.
- Educating Iowans that under the Affordable Care Act “being LGBT is no longer a previously existing condition.”
- Training healthcare providers to treat LGBT patients with compassion and confidentiality
- Researching and documenting the healthcare needs of LGBT Iowans
- Working to understand and respond to the needs of LGBT elders
- One Iowa works to keep incarcerated LGBT family members safe by:
- Training prison and jail guards and staff how to treat LGBT inmates with respect
- Educating Department of Corrections staff on the legal protections due to LGBT inmates
LGBT Iowans and their families need One Iowa.
One Iowa needs you!
