Policy Platform
Policy Platform
How do we know if a piece of legislation is good or bad?
We measure it against our policy platform.
In early 2026 we drafted our first policy platform as an org. Over the past 7 months of legislative work, we've updated it to be more inclusive of our organizational values and our community needs.
Economic Safety
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community deserve economic safety, which includes protections around housing, workforce, labor, and access to public life regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. This ensures that our community can be active participants within society.
Affirming Environments
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community should have access to affirming environments across all areas of their life. From the workplace, to educational institutions, and inclusion in public life, access to affirming environments can foster greater inclusion, understanding, and empathy, and are a vital part serving the needs of our community.
Comprehensive and Accessible Healthcare
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community deserve comprehensive and accessible healthcare, which includes gender-affirming care, life-saving procedures and services that span psychological, medical, social, and behavioral interventions. Access to these services should not be dependent on economic resources or geographic location.
Equal Protection
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community are entitled to equal protection under the law, including safety and protection from state violence, discrimination, and civil rights violations.
Right to Privacy
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community have an inherent right to privacy, and that includes the right to live as an out and proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community without having to repeatedly share their lived experiences in public hearings or other public settings in order to advocate for their humanity and other civil rights. A right to privacy also includes an individual’s right to live without being forced to self-identify, out themselves, etc regardless of age or need to access restrooms, locker rooms, or other spaces that are inherently private spaces.
Bodily Autonomy
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community have inherent bodily autonomy, which includes expanded access to gender-affirming healthcare, ban forced surgeries on intersex infants, and outlawing so-called "conversion therapy".
Educational Equity
All members of NH’s LGBTQIA+ community deserve educational equity, where TITLE IX, and state and federal education laws protect students from discrimination based on gender identity in classes, athletics, and facilities.
