LGBTQ+ Stories You Should Know About
Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility!
Every March 31st, we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility to honor the many contributions of trans people and celebrate trans lives [[link removed]] . This year, we urge you to learn about Victory Fund's endorsed trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming candidates running for office across the country here [[link removed]] .
And make no mistake: running as an out trans candidate is not easy. In today's political landscape, transphobic rhetoric is becoming horrifically common-place, while bigoted politicians continue to use the trans community as a punchbag - and stepping stone to rollback equality for all. The number of anti-trans bills introduced across the country continues to rise [[link removed]] , with most of them targeting trans youth [[link removed]] . You can read about the wave of anti-trans bills rolling across the United States here [[link removed]] . Thank you to Alejandra Caraballo, Esq. (@Esqueer_ on Twitter) [[link removed]] , Allison Chapman (@AlliRaine22 on Twitter) [[link removed]] and Erin Reed (Erin In The Morning on Substack) [[link removed]] , for creating this bill tracker and publicly sharing their resources. Check out their work, research bills and more here [[link removed]] .
But all is not lost - far from it. The majority of Americans oppose laws that would limit trans rights. [[link removed]] While bigots attempt to demonize trans people with outdated tropes, trans people are continuing to live out loud. More and more trans people are stepping up to run for office - and despite the rhetoric and hate they may encounter on the campaign trail, they are winning.
Today, LGBTQ+ youth and allies will be leading pro-trans marches around the country [[link removed]] . Queer Youth Assemble [[link removed]] , a youth-led organization, is organizing a national series of marches around the country to show their support for the trans community. You can find where Queer Youth Assemble is gathering and find a March for Queer and Trans Autonomy in your area here . [[link removed]]
Thank you to all the trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, two-spirit and genderqueer candidates [[link removed]] and elected officials [[link removed]] currently serving. We are so proud to stand with you.
