Tell Gov. Rendell to Support LGBT Youth- Just Say NO to Title V Abstinence-Only-Until Marriage Funds
We recently learned that Governor Rendell is seriously considering applying for Title V abstinence-only-until marriage federal funds. Abstinence-only-until marriage progams discriminate against LGBT youth and do not provide any relevant information to LGBT teens on disease prevention or forming healthy relationships.
Tell Governor Rendell to support LGBT youth and do not apply for Title V Funding that would harm LGBT youth in our schools! Pennsylvania should join the growing list of states that have taken a public stand to ensure these teens receive the information they need to make healthy and responsible decisions.
The decision to apply for these funds will be made any day now, so please take action today!

Subject: Say NO to Title V Abstinence-Only Funds!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Please do not apply for Title V Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage funds! These programs withhold vital health information from LGBT teens and completely disregard their health and well-being.
Please take a public stand against these funds to ensure that LGBT teens receive the information they need to make healthy and responsible decisions!
Sincerely,
