The South Dakota Democratic Party Passes Resolution to Support LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit Communities in South Dakota
Sioux Falls – At the 2022 State Convention, the South Dakota Democratic Party passed a resolution to adopt a formal stance on LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit rights in South Dakota.
“Delegates at the SDDP Convention resoundingly supported the rights of LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit South Dakotans with the passage of this resolution. This is a significant step toward full equality for our community and sends a message to Governor Noem’s office that we will not tolerate her continued attacks on trans kids and LGBTQ+ people,” said Kameron Nelson.
