California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus Responds to Suspected Palm Springs Fertility Clinic Bombing

 

SACRAMENTO, CA —  The California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus released the following statement in response to the suspected intentional bombing of the Palm Springs fertility clinic:

 

“We are shocked with the Palm Springs community to learn of the suspected intentional bombing of the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic, known to serve a high number of hopeful LGBTQ+ families along with the general population. To believe that anyone’s investments in family planning could have been intentionally destroyed is truly awful. 

 

Violence in all forms is never acceptable and must be fully condemned. We thank the first responders and law enforcement for taking swift action. We stand united in response with the Palm Springs community.”

About the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus

California’s Legislative LGBTQ Caucus was formed in 2002 to create a forum for California Legislators to discuss issues that affect LGBTQ Californians and to further the goal of equality and justice for all Californians. California became the first state in the United States to officially form a caucus of openly-LBGTQ state legislators and continues to be a leader of progress for all Americans. In 2025, our membership hit a new milestone of 14 members, maintaining its position as one of the largest LGBTQ Caucus in the Nation, and continues to remain strong. Despite tremendous progress and an unprecedented swell of support for the LGBTQ community worldwide, there is still much work to do to protect and uplift the most vulnerable in our community. The LGBTQ Caucus strives to advocate for diversity and inclusion of all people, including differently abled bodies. Our Caucus is working diligently to support LGBTQ leaders that represent our community at the local, state, and federal levels.
