Dear Friend,

Is it just me, or are you sick of living in unprecedented times?

States are debating book bans, drag bans, restrictions on healthcare access, whether or not a kid can play a sport... and Clarence Thomas laid it out bare for us: With Roe out of the way, the Supreme Court is coming for same-sex marriage next.

Year over year, the anti-LGBTQ crowd tries to bully our community out of existence — but we stand firm, because we have you on our side.

Your support makes it possible for us to respond to every “unprecedented” event and crisis. You have rallied for our community, for our fundamental rights, for our bodily autonomy, and for our future. Thank you.

Like you, I'm tired. I don't want to open my mailbox to more slanderous political postcards, or reply “STOP” to another robo-text asking me to participate in a poll, or hear another soundbite of some a**hole podcast host spreading straight-up lies about drag queens. 

But we have to keep going to build the future we deserve. We're going to need every bit of strength to tackle that work, and I hope I can count on your support. 

Please make a gift to GLAAD today and ensure we can continue showing up for our community. 

P.S. Did you know? When there's more accurate representation across media, more non-LGBTQ people are inspired to speak up for equality and reject extremist candidates. When I say we're building community and building a future, I mean it. Your support has real sway — so I hope you'll join GLAAD with a gift today. And remember, nearly 80 cents of every dollar goes directly toward our programs working towards 100% LGBTQ acceptance. We're proud of our charity ratings; almost as proud as we are to call you a supporter.
