“We Bite Back” Giving Update We donated the royalties we have so far from the next giving quarter of We Bite Back: A Charity Anthology early due to the devastating news about the Skrmetti Decision. Human Rights Campaign is currently tripling donations. Here at Pride with a Bite, we are devastated about the news of the Supreme Court's ruling against gender affirming care for transgender youth, and the move to pull funding for the crisis and suicide prevention lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth.
