Dear Friend,

During Pride, we elevate our community's strength, creativity, and joy in spectacular ways. There’s truly nothing else like it.

This year, however, there’s something we can’t ignore: a rising tide of vicious anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and legislation.

But you see, there's always backlash when we make strides in the fight for social justice.

That’s how we know we’re making progress. So, while we're at a difficult time now, supporting our work is more critical than ever.

At GLAAD, we wholeheartedly celebrate Pride, and work every single day to ensure that LGBTQ people are seen, heard, and protected in media and culture.

You see, visibility matters. Representation saves lives. And this year, we need your help more than ever.

YOUR DONATION FUELS:

● Changing anti-LGBTQ perception through our Messaging Lab, which reaches over 35 million and shifts traditionally non-supportive people toward greater LGBTQ acceptance.

● Training for journalists and creators to tell our stories right.

● Combatting disinformation with research and rapid response.

● Creating safe, visible spaces for LGBTQ people — online and off.

Let’s celebrate. Let’s resist. Let’s show the world that LGBTQ voices won’t be silenced — not this Pride, not ever.

With gratitude and pride,

P.S. This Pride, your gift does twice as much. Every dollar you give will be matched to support LGBTQ representation, safety, and truth in media.
