Did you know? This is Barbara Gittings (1932-2007) — Known as the mother of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, Gittings organised the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis and edited the first lesbian publication, "The Ladder." She was instrumental in the fight to end the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness. When everyone is included, everyone wins.

Under Trump's administration, LGBTQ rights were significantly eroded through various policies and actions: Military Ban: Trump reinstated a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, reversing the Obama-era policy allowing them to serve openly. Healthcare: The Trump administration rolled back protections under the Affordable Care Act, removing explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ individuals in healthcare settings. Education: The Department of Education rescinded guidelines that allowed transgender students to use bathrooms corresponding with their gender identity, impacting their safety and rights in schools. Adoption and Foster Care: The administration supported policies allowing federally funded adoption and foster care agencies to refuse services to LGBTQ people based on religious beliefs. Workplace Discrimination: The Department of Justice argued before the Supreme Court that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, did not extend to sexual orientation or gender identity. Such actions embolden discrimination and threaten the safety and equality of LGBTQ individuals. To safeguard human rights, we must actively counter these regressive policies and ensure that progress towards equality is not just preserved but advanced. Protecting LGBTQ rights is protecting humanity. Please listen to this clip featuring GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis discussing the critical importance of this work. She emphasizes that the LGBTQ community will vote for Kamala Harris, whose administration has opposed the aforementioned injustices and actively fought for LGBTQ rights during their tenure. These are fundamental #humanrights. We must not regress. Let's move forward together, fostering understanding and kindness towards one another. Embrace the simple truth: differences do not make someone scary or evil; they enrich our world with beauty, diversity, and intrigue. As Louis Armstrong sang, in "What a Wonderful World" : The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying, "I love you" #GLAAD #LGBTQ #voteHarris #inclusion #equality #advocate #ally #lovewins #equalityforall #iamanally

June is Pride Month! This month is dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots in 1968.
