Dear Friend,
I hope you, your friends, and family are staying safe during this unprecedented time. This Sunday, April 26, we’re working with CenterLink and GLAAD to present “Together in Pride: You Are Not Alone,” a star studded livestream event to bring the LGBTQ community together and honor our heroes during COVID-19. We’ll also raise important funds for CenterLink and its network of over 250 local community centers in the U.S. and around the world.
Here’s how to watch on Sunday, April 26 and 8pm ET / 5pm PT:
The livestream will share stories of LGBTQ front-line doctors and essential workers. Billy Eichner and Lilly Singh will co-host the event with perfromances from Kesha, Alex Newell, Melissa Etheridge and the cast of Broadway's "Jagged Little Pill." Messages of pride and support with be sent to LGBTQ youth from special guests including Billy Porter, Matt Bomer, Adam Lambert, Jonathan Van Ness, Bebe Rexha, Brian Michael Smith, Dan Levy, Mj Rodriguez, Wilson Cruz, Kathy Griffin, Gigi Gorgeous, Nats Getty, Pete and Chasten Buttigieg, Michelle Visage, Javier Muñoz, Tyler Oakley, Sean Hayes, Rosie O'Donnell, Sharon Stone, Ross Mathews and Tatiana Maslany. More names will be announced soon!
LGBTQ community centers serve as safe spaces for nearly 40,000 LGBTQ people each week and 2 million people each year. During the epidemic, LGBTQ community centers are still providing critical services such as medical care, mental health counseling, virtual support groups, filling prescriptions, providing hot meals and check-in phone calls for older adults, serving as shelters for homeless youth, distributing nonperishable food items and hygiene products, case management, HIV testing, and hosting virtual engagement activities to decrease social isolation. Given the current financial crisis and loss of revenue, LGBT community centers could be forced to shrink our services, meaning tens of thousands of LGBTQ people could go without care.
We hope you will tune in and help us spread the word. All of the local LGBTQ centers could use your support during these unprecedented times. We will make it through this difficult time - together. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
Your friends at GLAAD
