When have the book-banners EVER been the good guys?

Dear Friend,

When Tennessee officials pushed to ban LGBTQ books and pass a so-called “Decency Ordinance” that would criminalize being queer in public, Keri Lambert took a deep breath and raised her hand at a town meeting. She told her story.

And thanks to you, GLAAD was right there to amplify her voice.

HELP FIGHT BOOK BANS

Darian Aaron, our Director of Local News; US South, helped Keri share her story nationally, creating a powerful op-ed in Newsweek that inspired thousands.

And because our community pulled together, that harmful ordinance was repealed.

This kind of impact is only possible with you. That’s why we need you and 394 more supporters to help us meet this moment—and send a banned book to every member of Congress and the Supreme Court.

Will you help us keep authentic LGBTQ stories in the headlines—and not silenced?

Your donation today supports GLAAD’s News & Rapid Response Team, media training, community support, and on-the-ground organizing. It empowers everyday people to fight back—and win.

GIVE NOW

Thank you for making this work possible. You’re part of every win, big or small. And it counts more than you know.

With gratitude,

Kimberly Abuelhaj

Senior Director of Annual Giving
