Can we count on you? We need every resource to protect the LGBTQ community.
================================================================
Friend, I know Allison emailed you, but I needed to reach out too. Since same-sex marriage was legalized in 2015, the LGBTQ community has faced countless counterattacks on our rights and our lives...
Pulse. Club Q. Healthcare bans. Drag bans. Bathroom bans. 600+ anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in 2023. 500+ so far in 2024. Attacked in school bathrooms. Murdered while vogueing. Killed for living in truth...
You don't need to wait until November, or even until I finish the exhausting list of anti-LGBTQ hate we've faced in the last few years alone. You can take action now.

We need every resource we can get to protect the LGBTQ community in the lead-up to November 5th. That includes your support. But we also need your vote and your voice. Vote with your values and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
To help you do that, we have some resources for you -- our Election Toolkit below and our new GLAAD Media Institute Learning Hub, where you can learn how to be an activist and uplift marginalized communities.

With your help, we can win this fight. Please, consider a gift to GLAAD today.

================================================================
Friend, everything we've worked for -- from same-sex marriage to lifesaving healthcare to the LGBTQ community's right to exist -- is at stake this November. So far this year, over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills have already been introduced into legislation.
That's why we're mobilizing people to vote with their values. And we aim to raise $1 million by this fall to amplify our reach.

Amplify Our Election Work -- Fight for LGBTQ Acceptance
Anti-LGBTQ groups want us to believe that queer people are a danger to society. But we know the truth: Their rhetoric is nothing more than the death rattle of bigotry. Our community -- that means you! -- will drown them out.
2024 Goal: $1 Million
