Dear John,
As Senior Director of Law, Policy & Research at Outright International, I help build the evidence we need to advance equality and inclusion for LGBTIQ people globally.
And often that means documenting and exposing misinformation alongside the truth. Those in power who seek political gain by undermining the human rights of LGBTIQ people often rely on harmful, exclusionary narratives to marginalize our communities and falsely portray us as threats.
None of their claims are true. Their words are false. But the pain they inflict is not.
Take Action: Double Your Impact ([link removed])
In the words of one activist impacted by our work, “Your action, clarity and willingness to name what’s going on is both rare and deeply affirming. You didn’t wait for us to reach out or ask us to justify our existence. You moved with care, urgency and intention.”
Outright works tirelessly to document, contextualize, and expose the global consequences of lies and demonization—and to offer clear recommendations for action and a path toward equality for LGBTIQ people. This past year, our evidence-based reports and analysis made headlines and captured attention in world capitals, activist communities, and hearts and minds globally:
* Defunding Freedom: Impacts of U.S. Foreign Aid Cuts on LGBTIQ People Worldwide exposed how U.S. aid cuts endanger LGBTIQ lives worldwide.
* Show Up With No Shame: Pride Around the World in 2024 illustrated the dual reality of increased LGBTIQ visibility and heightened backlash evident in global Pride events in 2024.
* Queering Democracy: The Global Elections in 2024 and How LGBTIQ People Fared revealed how, during that year's global elections, LGBTIQ people worldwide faced rising political hate—yet still mobilized and ran for office.
* A Year in Attacks on Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex People’s Human Rights exposed a global surge in discriminatory laws and policies rolling back rights of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people.
That’s powerful. And it’s what your year-end contribution today will enable us to do more of in 2026.
In a year shaken by misinformation, the truth needs defenders. Join the fight. Donate now. ([link removed])
