2/ LGBTQ people are Planned Parenthood patients, supporters, clinicians, and staff –– they’re part of our family. I am proud to lead Planned Parenthood, an organization that serves LGBTQ people with inclusive, quality, judgment-free care. #ThisIsHealthcare #HRCTwitterTakeover

3/ Did you know that Planned Parenthood provides hormone therapy to transgender patients at more than 100 health centers in 28 states? #HRCTwitterTakeOver pic.twitter.com/5AIXFQIogO

4/ In fact in 2018, @PPSWO @PPGulfCoast @PPHeartland @PPMaryland were all designated as LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leaders by @HRC Foundation’s Healthcare Equality Index. Everyone deserves access to the care they need & we’re glad to play our part. #HEI2018 t.co/ebUiL1NhVi

5/ Planned Parenthood provides healthcare services to many LGBTQ people — including well-person examinations, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, PrEP and PEP, hormone therapy, and other sexual and reproductive healthcare services. #HRCTwitterTakeover

6/ Planned Parenthood also offers HIV testing, counseling & treatment referrals. HIV & AIDS remains an urgent public health crisis that disproportionately affects Black & Latinx people, trans people, young people & men who have sex with men. #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/Bu4sPRefvD

7/ LGBTQ people are more likely to be uninsured than non-LGBTQ people—& trans patients are especially likely to face discrimination or lack of knowledge from their doctor. It’s critical that people can access compassionate, non-judgmental & affordable care t.co/HlG0WRSCX4

8/ As we celebrate #BiHealthMonth, it’s important to recognize the healthcare needs of the bisexual, queer, pansexual & fluid community. We understand bi+ people experience unique health challenges & medical professionals should provide compassionate care. t.co/2kKC7Yz1TZ
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019
9/ Bottom line: Healthcare is a human right & all LGBTQ people deserve access to sexual & reproductive healthcare free of discrimination. That’s why we support the #EqualityAct, which would provide non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people nationwide t.co/gV8e7Mi9EM

10/ We’re also pushing back on the administration’s attack on #TitleX, which helps people struggling to make ends meet access sexual & reproductive healthcare. This is another way they’re targeting LGBTQ people, POC & people with low-incomes. #ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/R41HUkqCBj

11/ They’re trying to gag doctors like me & dismantle our nation’s program for affordable birth control & reproductive healthcare that serves 4 million women and families—41% of whom Planned Parenthood is proud to serve. This is illegal & unethical. #ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019
12/ Keeping people unhealthy is a tool of oppression & we’re going to do everything we can to fight this unethical rule, which would harm:
✖️LGBTQ people
✖️Immigrants
✖️Women
✖️People of color
✖️People with low incomes#ProtectX #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/xTB3rRUCho— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) March 28, 2019
13/ As president of @PPFA & @PPact, I’m proud Planned Parenthood delivers quality sexual & reproductive healthcare to people in LGBTQ communities & defends their rights — no matter what. I’m excited to continue fighting alongside @HRC. #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/PfCIY3ZzK7
