This Suicide Prevention Month, we want every LGBTQ+ person to know that no politician or ban can erase your identity. If you are struggling, know that you are not alone. ❤️ @trevorproject.bsky.social — 866-488-7386 @lgbtnatlhelpctr.bsky.social — 800-246-7743 @translifeline.org — 877-565-8860

LGBTQ leaders in Washington, DC, and in states deploying their National Guard to a militarized DC, speak out about the dangers to LGBTQ people in DC and to public safety at home. Read what they have to say here: glaad.org/bring-them-h...

Our country is losing an incredible public health expert who led critical responses to HIV and mpox. (1/2) thehill.com/policy/healt...

LGBTQ people, especially transgender youth, are more comfortable being themselves than ever before. No president or administration will ever censor us away. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Orlando community members continue to show up for each other, in grief, outrage, and love. The state has never proved that there is a safety issue with a rainbow crosswalk which has been in place for eight years. www.newsweek.com/florida-loca...

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov for fighting cruelty with compassion and providing dedicated resources for the LGBTQ community. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

LGBTQ people everywhere and our allies will always honor Pulse with action and commitment to everyone’s freedom, safety, and success.

True safety isn’t about petty painting over crosswalks, it is rooted in the freedom to be ourselves, to live free from government sponsored discrimination and lies, and free from the horror of gun violence that every Florida elected official should move heaven and earth to address.

LGBTQ people and our history will never be erased, and the lives taken at Pulse will never be forgotten.

In fall 2025, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear three cases affecting LGBTQ rights, regarding the constitutionality of allowing states to ban transgender women and girls from participating in sports and the constitutionality of so-called “conversion therapy.”

Across the country, thousands of books are being stripped from schools and libraries—many of them LGBTQ-affirming stories that help young people feel seen. Think you know which ones made the banned list? Take our quiz and see how many you can spot. act.glaad.org/page/86470/d...

“None Of These Books Are Obscene”: Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida’s Book Ban Bill This is a big win for intellectual freedom and will have big implications in other ongoing lawsuits and future laws aiming to ban books. bookriot.com/penguin-rand...

Check out this new GLAAD explainer for @techpolicypress.bsky.social to learn more about LinkedIn’s recent removal of its policy protecting transgender and nonbinary people from one of the most prevalent and extreme types of online anti-trans hate. www.techpolicy.press/linkedin-joi...

“He had crown tattoos on his wrists that said ‘mom’ and ‘dad,’” GLAAD's Monica Trasandes said. “That is not a gang member. It’s ridiculous. The cruelty, the shamelessness, the un-American-ness of it all, it outraged people. And people acted.” www.advocate.com/news/freeing...

Marriage equality forever.

Shield Act 2.0 further strengthens protections for patients and providers of reproductive healthcare.

56 generals, admirals, and other leaders from every service branch condemned Trump’s previous attempt to bar open service, noting it would “degrade readiness even more than the failed ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy.” www.palmcenter.org/wp-content/u...

Research shows Trump’s previous ban on trans service had a negative impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, and national security.

The plaintiffs in one case have 130 collective years of service and earned more than 80 commendations and honors. glaad.org/transgender-...

A federal judge ruled the Trump ban lacked evidence and was “soaked in animus.” The U.S. Supreme Court’s extremist majority agreed to let the ban be enforced even though legal challenges are still being heard.

Transgender people have been openly serving in the military for years. Discrimination makes every American less safe. glaad.org/transgender-...

🧵 The administration has yet to produce any evidence proving a need to remove trans service members from duty. Refusing retirement benefits to anyone who capably and honorably served is morally corrupt and un-American. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

As a life-long New York Liberty fan, I was thrilled to present this historic team with a Special Recognition @glaad.bsky.social Media Award for their continued work - on and off the court - to make women’s basketball a place where LGBTQ fans and our families are seen and supported. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️(1/2)

Despite following the asylum-seeking process, Andry Hernandez Romero was still wrongfully detained like countless others. Andry came to the U.S. as an asylum seeker, fleeing the credible threat of anti-LGBTQ violence and political persecution.

SHAMEFUL: The Trump White House has surpassed a milestone of 300 anti-LGBTQ actions, statements, and policies from his first term in office up until today. GLAAD is holding Trump and his administration accountable in the media as our movement partners hold them accountable in court.

This week, the Trump administration cruelly shut down the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s specialized services for LGBTQ youth. Our message to LGBTQ youth remains the same: You are loved, and you are never alone.

"I want every LGBTQ+ young person to know that you are worthy, valued, and loved exactly as you are. No matter what the federal government says or does, you have millions of people — all across the country — in your corner, and we are here to support you, always." - Jaymes Black, Trevor Project CEO

Everyone deserves to live free from discrimination and with access to essential health care supported by every major medical association. (1/2) www.advocate.com/news/puerto-...

Queer people have always existed, and we're not going anywhere.

It was great going live with V on their @underthedesknews.bsky.social substack to talk all things LGBTQ. From what it was like coming out in the 90s/00s to our love of Stewie to 40 years of @glaad.bsky.social. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Congratulations V on being named one of TIME 100 Most Influential Creators!

Librarians and other educators are professionals and public servants who work for every child and family in the community, offering materials that help children learn about themselves, their peers, and the world around them.

No one should lose their job for doing their job. www.advocate.com/news/librari...

Their lives, loves, and stories of overcoming exclusion and hardship are as beautiful as these portraits. Lesbians, like everyone in the LGBTQ community, have always been here and inspire us to keep fighting for the freedom to live and love freely. @npr.org www.npr.org/sections/the...

Every major U.S. medical association supports healthcare for trans people.

In the wake of SCOTUS upholding Skrmetti—TN's ban on healthcare for transgender youth—and amid relentless, coordinated efforts to deny trans people essential health care, it’s crucial to recognize and understand the hate-fueled rhetoric driving these political attacks 🧵 glaad.org/intentional-...

This Supreme Court and administration believe that nothing is settled and everything is up for grabs. They are rewriting what America is supposed to be about and how progress in this country moves forward.

As LGBTQ people and topics about our lives remain at the center of political campaigns, it is essential that media include LGBTQ voices and candidates’ LGBTQ records. (1/3)

As we close out Pride Month, it’s important that we carry the power of community coming together forward and continue to show up loudly, visibly and without apology for the LGBTQ community. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (1/2)

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Kennedy v. Braidwood Management Inc. should serve as a loud reminder that PrEP is a safe and effective way to prevent HIV transmission, that saves lives and brings us closer to ending the HIV epidemic. (1/3)

The Supreme Court decided a long time ago that separate is not equal in the classroom, and now is prioritizing the rights of a small group to segregate LGBTQ families. (1/3)

Today’s ruling will limit freedom and equality for all Americans. While six members of the Supreme Court would like to censor LGBTQ American families, they will not succeed in silencing us or our stories. (1/5)

SCOTUS will decide tomorrow in a case revolving around LGBTQ books in public school classrooms. 2 books in the case were published by Little Bee Books, whose CEO & editorial director spoke w/me about LGBTQ inclusion, their partnership w/ @GLAAD.bsky.social, & the case: mombian.com/2025/06/26/p...

A decade into marriage equality two things remain clear: The Obergefell decision helped protect families & strengthen communities across the country. And a majority of Americans continue to support the freedom to marry, because they understand that love is love, & we all deserve that freedom. (1/4)

At a time when our community is under attack, I want LGBTQ youth to know that we’ve been in this fight before and won, and we will continue to stand up and speak out in order to build a better future. (1/3)
