Dear friend, Tonight, we will make history in Iowa. GLAAD is partnering with The Advocate, One Iowa, and The Gazette to host the first 2020 Presidential Forum focused exclusively on topics that affect the LGBTQ community. Watch the live stream here starting at 7:00 p.m. CT. As the world watches, we will bring the issues that matter to LGBTQ and ally voters to the forefront of this race for the first time - issues like employment nondiscrimination, housing, conversion therapy, and the rise of hate and violence against LGBTQ people - especially trans women of color. I don’t need to tell you at this point how bad Donald Trump has been for our community. Three years. 125 attacks against our community in policy and rhetoric. And this is our first chance to hear from the other 2020 candidates how they will reverse the travesties of this Administration and put us back on a path to full equality and acceptance. Be sure to tune in tonight and get active on social using the hashtag #LGBTQForum. Now is the time to pay attention, get involved, and work together to turn the tide. And it starts tonight in Iowa. In solidarity, Zeke Stokes |
