LGBTQ people are parents, people of faith, and taxpayers. Schools that want to discriminate against LGBTQ families are demanding to be funded with taxpayer dollars.

Renee Good's widow Becca spoke out for the first time today as the family filed two lawsuits against the federal government seeking justice and accountability for Renee's death by an ICE agent in January.

I was proud to join @glaad.bsky.social’s Countdown to Spirit Day to stand against bullying and show our support for LGBTQ+ youth. Every October 15 on Spirit Day, millions of people wear purple to take a stand against bullying and send a visible message of love and solidarity to LGBTQ+ young people.

“I’m grateful that I get to be here, doing what I love, surrounded by people I love. But I also feel a responsibility to be honest about recovery, because I know there are people watching who may be going through something privately."

“While the administration is unlawfully eroding protections for trans students under the guise of ‘protecting women and girls,’ they are systematically weakening the very laws that keep students safe and schools accountable.“ - @nwlc.org (1/2) nwlc.org/press-releas...

Fantastic protest organized by @genderlib.com to protest NYU Lagnone's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. Big 🧵 of photos for ya!

“It’s a really dangerous precedent when the federal government is allowed to politicize any one group of people’s care and end it.” -- @elielcruz.com, cofounder of @genderlib.com

Virginia is for lovers. Early voting in the Commonwealth begins this Friday and a ballot measure to overturn a zombie ban on marriage equality is on the ballot.

LGBTQ people, like all Americans, simply want the chance to live and thrive in peace. Elected officials, and the voters they work for, must act immediately to prioritize and protect the core values we all believe in: Freedom, family, and safety for all. (4/5)

At a time of unprecedented attacks and discrimination targeting the LGBTQ community, we need every voice to speak up and advocate for an end to gun violence and to protect vulnerable and marginalized people. (3/5)

Our hearts are with the loved ones of Vincent and Cameron, and we are grateful for the leadership shown by Tucson’s elected officials and the LGBTQ community in demanding safety and solidarity for all. (2/5)

Once again, our community is grieving after a deadly and senseless act of hate. No one should have to live in fear simply because of who they are. (1/5)

"Culturally, things have changed. And while there is some backsliding, if I’m going to be a bearer of this history, then I have to live in the shadow of those people, and I owe it to them to fight back.”

We need accurate information, authentic stories and policies that reflect today’s realities about living with HIV and the huge advancements in prevention and treatment.

Ending HIV will require all of us to choose truth over misinformation, visibility over silence, and facts over fear. (3/3) View the full report here: glaad.org/endhivstigma...

The 2026 State of HIV Stigma Report should be a call to action for media, public health leaders, policymakers, and advocates to ensure that the way we talk about HIV catches up with what science has already made possible. (2/3)

Americans need accurate information, authentic stories, and policies that reflect today's realities about living with HIV and the huge advancements in prevention and treatment. (1/3)

GLAAD’s 2026 State of HIV Stigma Report reveals a growing disconnect between the realities of HIV today and what many Americans understand about it. Read more about this year's findings: glaad.org/endhivstigma...

Discriminatory and dangerous: “every girl in kindergarten through 12th grade will have to have her sex assigned at birth verified by a doctor — through either genetic or hormone tests or an examination of her reproductive anatomy — to be eligible to play girls’ sports.”

From Presence to Power by @rashadrobinson.bsky.social is out today!

"The choice before the industry is not complicated. A warning label on LGBTQ+ content is a request to return to a time when our stories were treated as a liability to be managed rather than ones with an audience to be served."

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

Personal freedom and opportunity are best served when our legal protections expand access and guarantee safety for everyone. Today’s decision unfairly strips the rights of a few and threatens the ability of every girl and woman to play the sports they love. (3/3)

By allowing sweeping restrictions on a very small number of transgender students who simply wanted to participate in sports alongside their peers, the ruling creates an unnecessarily unfair playing field. (2/3)

The Supreme Court's ruling on transgender youth participating in school sports is at odds with the fundamental principles of fairness, freedom, and family that define our country and our communities. (1/3)

TEAM LET TRANS KIDS PLAY SPORTS 🏳️‍⚧️

Tell HUD to do its job providing housing, not discriminating. Submit a public comment here.

HUD's proposed rule change targets protections based on sexual orientation as well as gender identity. Opponents of transgender people can, do, and will come after LGB people too. We must stand together against all attacks against any of us.

BREAKING NEWS: A judge has granted a request from transgender young people and their families for a temporary restraining order BLOCKING the Trump administration’s demands for their identities and sensitive health information from hospitals in New York City.
