Dear Friend, We have a winner — and the news is good for LGBTQ people! The results of this presidential election affirm that every vote and every voter counts. LGBTQ people and all marginalized Americans came together to make this victory possible, and now the journey to safety, equality and acceptance can continue forward. So what’s next? President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris have promised to fight for America as a place where we all can belong and succeed, where truth and kindness matter. In the early days of their administration, they must prioritize protecting LGBTQ people equally under the law in a country where we can live without fear. We must all also confront the racism and bias that fueled the division of the last four years, and resolve to come together for justice and equality for all. We are eager to act on this historic vote for progress and get our country back on track. Today, I hope you’ll support GLAAD’s work by making a contribution to help us ensure that LGBTQ people remain at the forefront of the media coverage and the cultural conversation as we prepare for this historic transition. We need your continued support to build on this momentum and keep equality and acceptance moving forward. We know that more than 80% of Americans support full equality. It’s now time to put this election behind us and get down to the business of ensuring that every LGBTQ person in this country - and indeed around the world - is treated equally under the law and lives without fear of discrimination or harassment based on who they are or who they love. We’ll stay in touch in the coming days and weeks to let you know how things are going and what you can continue to do to help. In solidarity, Sarah Kate Ellis
