Dear Friend,
Thank you! People like you matched our pride and took control — with double the impact. That commitment couldn't be more vital. Right now, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and hate are on an upswing.
In 2024, there are more than 600 anti-LGBTQ bills under consideration in statehouses across the country — many of which, including bathroom and sports bans, target transgender youth. These bills fuel misinformation and fear. And when more than 70% of Americans say they don't personally know a transgender person, it's easy for that fear to become hate.
I can't help but think, 'If only those people could see how beautiful our world is in technicolor...'
That's why I'm so grateful for support from people like you. With it, we're changing the channel (click) for millions of Americans, and introducing them to our beautiful, joyful, loving LGBTQ community.
We know our authentic stories and real-life experiences are the antidote to so much of the hate our community is facing. The support we received during Pride Month is amplifying those stories, fighting for even more LGBTQ representation, combating misinformation and fear-mongering with on-the-spot fact-checking, and more — so that one day, the LGBTQ community can exist... without needing to resist.
A lot of work remains, and if you haven't made your Pride gift yet, it's not too late! Please make your most generous gift now. With a community of advocates like you by our side, we know acceptance for all is not only attainable, but inevitable.
Truly, thank you.

P.S. Want to keep Pride going all year long and take your support a step further? Consider making a monthly gift. Monthly gifts are the most effective and efficient way to donate — and you can change or cancel your gift at any time. For just $10 a month — that's less than most streaming services! — you can make a major impact for LGBTQ visibility and representation.
