John,
From Thailand (which, in January, became the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage)...
…to
Lithuania (whose Constitutional Court ruled in April that denying same-sex couples the right to register under a national partnership law was unconstitutional)...
…LGBTIQ activists continue to drive change around the world—even in the face of intensifying repression. Outright International works in partnership with these human rights defenders every day to drive impact through:
* Collaborative research that documents the harm of discriminatory laws and practices
* Technical support shaped by local contexts and led by community priorities
* Strategic connections to global actors, from the EU to the UN
* Programmatic grants
* Expanded visibility to elevate grassroots advocacy on the world stage
Today, we ask you to partner with us.
SUPPORT OUR WORK ([link removed])
When you make an urgently needed Pride gift today, it will be matched, up to $35,000, to support Outright’s essential work. ([link removed])
Your 2025 Pride gift will help power Outright’s work with partners on the frontlines, like those in Kenya, which continues to be a deeply challenging environment for LGBTIQ people, and where local organizations and advocates are courageously challenging injustice—often in the face of immense risk and resistance.
A recent decision, entered by the Supreme Court of Kenya, and affirming the right of the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHRC) to register as an NGO, sparked renewed energy among human rights defenders and strengthened the work of Kenyan organizations like NGLHRC, galck+, INEND, and others. With this momentum, they are mobilizing against the growing influence of anti-gender forces and challenging harmful legislation like the proposed
Family Protection Bill.
Your Pride gift helps sustain this kind of vital work.
Whether in places where LGBTIQ groups are on the cusp of a win or confronting severe, often existential threats, every step forward—big or small—matters. Outright’s partnerships with global LGBTIQ activists are more vital than ever. The same is true of your contribution, right now. ([link removed])
Help Outright invest in the human fortitude bearing the pain of systemic oppression while building the better tomorrow we know is within reach.
With gratitude,
Yvonne Wamari (she/her)
Senior Program Officer for Africa
Outright International
P.S. With less than a week remaining this Pride month, please make sure to have your gift matched. You will enable Outright International to provide powerful resources and partnership to frontline LGBTIQ organizations around the world. Thank you! ([link removed])
