John,

2025 brought some of the worst attacks on our community. After seeing the results of the 2024 elections, anti-LGBTQ forces doubled down — smashing protections and spreading discrimination. And despite the fact that the year has just begun, bigots are already trying to rollback LGBTQ+ rights once again. Take a look at some of the headlines we're already seeing:

As the LGBTQ Youth Population Doubles, Number of Bills Targeting Them Triples -- The 74

‘Clever as serpents’: How a legal group’s anti-LGBTQ policies took root in school districts across a state -- The Hechinger Report

Indiana Lawmakers Launch All-Out Campaign Against LGBTQ Hoosiers -- ACLU Indiana

22 states that have passed anti-LGBTQ+ laws in 2025 so far -- The Advocate

Tennessee Lawmaker Seeks to Challenge Supreme Court Decisions With Anti-LGBT Bills -- Nashville Banner

Supreme Court weighs state restrictions on transgender student-athletes -- NBC News

These headlines make it clear: they're not going to slow down, so we can't take a break either. We have to keep fighting and pushing back against hate. We can't afford to let these bigots take our rights away. Pitch in today to fight back against hate and power the next rainbow wave!
