PACE is a nonpartisan organization that works to advance equality in Northwest Louisiana so that the LGBTQ+ community can lead open, honest, responsible, and safe lives at home and in the workplace.
We Believe
In a world where all people are free to express their gender identity and sexual orientation with pride.
🚨Action Alert: Rep. Mike Johnson’s Anti-Trans Bathroom Policy🚨
U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA), now Speaker of the House, has enacted a policy banning transgender women and girls from using restrooms aligned with their gender identity in U.S. House-controlled facilities.
This harmful policy perpetuates false claims about transgender individuals, intensifies stigma, and endangers their mental health and safety. Transgender people deserve dignity and equality. Yet, this policy undermines their rights and deepens disparities in public life.

Official Statement from PACE:
Together in Solidarity
We know this moment feels uncertain, but our commitment to equality and justice remains as strong as ever. Our community has faced hard times before — whether in the fight for marriage equality, pushing back against harmful policies, or simply standing up to be heard and respected. Every struggle has made us stronger, and together, we’ve created lasting momentum for change.
The path forward may seem daunting, but that’s exactly why we must keep pushing forward. Now, more than ever, we need each other. Every effort matters, every voice counts, and each one of us makes a difference. Let’s stay connected, support one another, and continue to shape Louisiana into a place where everyone can live freely and authentically.
Thank you for your courage and commitment. Together, we’re creating a future where all of us can be proud.
