Hi Friend,
Welcome to our bi-weekly newsletter communication about GLAAD's
programs and activities that your investments make possible.
On Saturday, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were named the
President-elect and Vice President-elect of the United States and we
proudly joined worldwide celebrations after the historic victory for
equality. GLAAD has been dedicated to LGBTQ voter education throughout
election season because we knew that LGBTQ people and our allies could
make a real difference in this election.
"The results of this presidential election affirm that every
vote and every voter counts," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate
Ellis said. "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."
Read on to learn more about GLAAD's work.

Ahead of the Presidential Election, GLAAD released the findings of its
sixth annual Accelerating Acceptance Study, a national survey among
U.S. adults conducted using a sample sourced by Cint. The study
measures American attitudes towards, and understanding of, LGBTQ
people. Accelerating Acceptance is just one of the many studies GLAAD
releases throughout the year. Learn more at glaad.org/acceptance.

Delaware's first district makes her the highest ranking out
transgender lawmaker in the nation. And several winning LGBTQ

the general public.
