Since January 1, 2024, the ACLU has tracked more than 500 anti-LGBTQ bills that have been proposed in the US, accompanied by a historic rise in hate crimes against LGBTQ people. In GLAAD’s 2024 Accelerating Acceptance Report, the impact of American political discourse is found to have negative affects on the LGBTQ community, and LGBTQ young adults in particular.

📢 Municipal LGBTQ Equality Index >> https://lnkd.in/d3AcR5Ua We were thrilled to present this year's Municipal LGBTQ Equality Index to President Isaac Herzog. This index measures how municipalities in Israel support the LGBTQ+ community. The war in Israel has exposed the deep gap between the mobilization of the LGBTQ+ community for the war effort and the lack of full rights in civilian life. The actions of municipalities give us hope. We believe that through cooperation, tolerance, and acceptance, we can continue to build a more just and inclusive Israeli society for the LGBTQ+ community and all its citizens.

I came of age in the midst of the "It Gets Better" project. And here in the States, for a while, it got better. Now, it's getting worse. Ogilvy and GLAAD have created a pretty strong campaign, and I encourage you to watch the video and check out the site. However, the fact that this campaign is even necessary is deeply disappointing. Some sobering statistics: ▪ LGBTQ+ young people are more than 4x as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. ▪ 41% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including roughly half of transgender and nonbinary youth. ▪ 24% of LGBTQ+ young people reported that they have been physically threatened or harmed ▪ 38% of trans youth (ages 13-17) live in a state with a laws/policies limiting their access to gender affirming care ▪ 24 states have enacted laws/policies limiting youth access to gender affirming care As we approach November, the rhetoric will only get more vitriolic as certain politicians seek to rally their base around a shared hatred of the "other." The reality of the situation is that this rhetoric and the policies that seek to ban gender affirming care have real world effects on the mental health and physical well-being of LGBTQ+ youth, particularly trans and non-binary youth. It's up to us to protect them.
GLAAD responds to anti-LGBTQ misinformation with a powerful new campaign from Ogilvy California that sends a loud message of acceptance to LGBTQ community. #ProtectThisKid Learn more: https://okt.to/09CNQa

Did you know that more than 1 in 4 Gen Z adults in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ? 🌈 This new survey by PRRI reveals that a staggering 28% of Gen Z adults ages 18-25 identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer — highlighting a significant increase compared to older age groups. Moreover, the survey found that Gen Z adults are more ethnically diverse and less likely to affiliate with established religions. These findings underscore the importance of LGBTQ visibility and the need to protect LGBTQ rights amidst increasing challenges.

LGBTQ+ Domestic Violence Awareness Day is an initiative that is close to my heart. I recommend making the pledge to create change to help stamp out domestic violence in LGBTQ+ communities. Victims of domestic violence often stay silent about what's going on for a long time. Participating in a pledge helps to raise awareness, but also gives people a sign that they don't have to suffer in silence. This includes people who are already carrying experiences of marginalisation and discrimination, like many in the LGBTQIA+ community. Advice based on my lived experience: 😶 Don’t ever assume someone is okay. They may be trying hard to appear as okay, when they’re not. 🤔 Instead, use your instincts, check on others, show kindness and empathy and be there for those around you. 🦺 Do your part to contribute to a safe environment, as sometimes workplaces can be the only safe place for victims. Read up on how you can contribute to psychological safety.
Tuesday 28 May marks LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day 💜 Join over 1,300 people in taking the pledge to change the conversation around domestic, family and intimate partner violence within LGBTQ+ communities. Learn more about LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day via our website: https://bit.ly/3SyFmso #LGBTQ #SeenAndBelieved #EndDV #EndDomesticViolence #NotNowNotEver #StopDV #NoMoreSilence #NoMoreViolence [Image Description: Blue sky background with rainbow balloon, and rainbow flag in top right corner and trans flag in bottom left corner as design overlay.
