The Court once again prioritized malice over best practice medicine. Young people should be met with support and best practice healthcare when they access mental health services – not fear or shame from so-called providers who want to force them to change who they are. (1/2)

Health care for transgender people and youth is supported by every major medical association and world health authority.

“Health care services for transgender young people remain legal, and the federal government cannot intimidate or punish the providers who offer them.”

Dolores Huerta is an incredible force in the Labor Rights Movement and beyond. It was an honor to share space with her and learn from her about movement building. Thank you for your bravery and courage. We must believe women and stand with survivors.

URGENT: Florida's "Anti-Diversity in Local Government" bill is a sledgehammer aimed at cities and counties that recognize the diversity of the people they serve. This dangerous bill is a priority for Governor DeSantis, has passed the FL Senate, and could face a vote on the House floor at any time.

Secretary Noem's disastrous leadership will forever be marred by the murders of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and countless others we are still learning about at the hands of ICE agents conducting violent, lawless arrests and in ICE custody. (1/2) apnews.com/article/trum...

Florida just cut off access to HIV treatment for 16,000 people. And they’re not alone. It’s not just cruelty…it’s a deadly public health crisis in the making. Resources for those directly impacted at the end.

Invalidating driver's licenses and enacting a bounty-style bathroom ban are the latest escalation in politicians' radical anti-trans crusade. Kansas, we'll see you in court.

The USA Women’s hockey team and their history-making Olympics brought us all joy and excellence, on the ice and off. They are the true winners. (1/3)

The visibility of out LGBTQ athletes participating in this year’s Winter Olympics is a victory for representation and a sign of encouragement for a future in which everyone can feel welcome in sports, including members of marginalized communities who have historically been excluded. (1/4

The politicians who pushed this cruel bill, Kansas' SB 244, did not use evidence, they used personal animus against hard-working Kansas residents who are transgender and just want the freedom to be who they are and live safely. (1/3)

"It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights." - Amber Glenn

Bad Bunny and the brilliant musicians who joined him, including out artists Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, represent the best of our country and the values that make it great: love, family, and above all, freedom. (1/2)

Super Bowl LX and the Winter Olympics will feature notable visibility of LGBTQ people and allies, including the halftime show with Bad Bunny, performances and commercials with LGBTQ icons, and the most out Winter Games in history. Get the fact sheet on LGBTQ participation and celebration here:

"Don Lemon’s arrest is a test for our country. Will we accept a future where journalists in the United States are hauled away in handcuffs for covering dissent? Or will we defend the principle that the press exists precisely to shine light into moments of conflict?"- @kerrykennedy.bsky.social

Inclusivity is not propaganda, programming with LGBTQ characters is not a danger to children, and politicians who use ugly rhetoric to the contrary devalue LGBTQ Americans and families. (1/4) www.theverge.com/policy/87353...

State legislative session has begun in many parts of the U.S., offering opportunities for state- and local-based activations for LGBTQ people, their families, and their allies. Learn more about these LGBTQ-related bills activations in Kansas, Florida and Missouri here: glaad.org/taking-the-f...

Bills like Kansas’ SB 244 are exactly why everyday Americans are fed up with lawmakers who prioritize targeting innocent people instead of solving actual problems, and then have the gall to try to hide their actions. (1/4)

Americans should refuse to accept a country where our neighbors fear for their safety. (1/4)

This is not just a photograph, this is a five-year old child named Liam who was used as "bait" in Minnesota and is being cruelly detained. This needs to stop. We must continue to speak out and resist these vicious and extraordinarily harsh policies that make all of us and our children less safe.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills. This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history. If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"The people claiming they were there to “save” women’s sports seemed to know almost nothing about them. And that contradiction reveals something deeper about this debate. This fight was never really about fairness in athletics. It was about who gets to belong." - @jcubedhax.bsky.social

Meeting Kristen, building our lives together, getting married and having kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Showing queer families, our love and commitment to each other has never been more important. (1/3)

We're at the Supreme Court today defending trans kids' freedom to play the sports they love. Politicians are hoping to use this issue to legitimize their effort to push transgender people out of public life — we won’t allow it. This case is about more than a game.

Journalists covering transgender participation in sports should include facts and context in their coverage, seek transgender voices, challenge rhetoric and those spreading it for facts, and include opponents' history of targeting LGBTQ people: glaad.org/fact-sheet-f...

"We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Out Minnesota U.S. Rep. Angie Craig: “Today, our worst fears became reality when an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in South Minneapolis. This is beyond unacceptable. It’s unconscionable and sickening.”

“We all need to remember that we are in this together. We are going to continue to fight for it. We are going to stand up nonviolently with peace and love and fight for our communities no matter what.” @leighfinke.bsky.social

The most popular series and media appear on this year’s list of @glaad.bsky.social Media Award nominees because LGBTQ stories are a winning strategy for a global audience who demands bold and original storytelling. (1/2)

Nearly three years ago, a coalition of 100+ organizations and leaders–including GLAAD–launched a campaign against the @nytimes.com’s biased, inaccurate coverage of transgender people. A former NYT editor shares her perspective about what's really going on:

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social is once again taking a stand for all New Yorkers, and making sure every young person has healthcare that they need.

Every family deserves the freedom and privacy to make informed choices about their medical care with their providers. Any politician working to interfere with that access, and take away choices, is endangering people’s lives.

Gender-affirming care helps trans kids live happy, healthy lives. Health care decisions belong to families and our doctors, not politicians.

“Parents of transgender children want what all parents want: to see their kids thrive and get the medical care they need. But this Administration is putting the government between patients and their doctors." - Jennifer Levi, @gladlaw.bsky.social www.advocate.com/politics/hhs...

Strong message from @newyorkstateag.bsky.social directly to transgender youth and their families. Allies across the country are doing all they can to stand with trans youth, and our community will survive these outrageous attacks from the Trump administration.

Access to healthcare saves trans lives 🏳️‍⚧️

Every major medical association and leading world health authority supports health care for transgender people and youth. Here are excerpts from 30+ organizations’ statements ⤵️ glaad.org/medical-asso...

Fact Sheet for Reporters: Supreme Court Cases on Transgender Participation in Sports

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Trump: “All we can do right now is pray for the victims.” Make no mistake: Lawmakers can take action now to stop this carnage and trauma. They are choosing not to—yet again.
