“Don’t let these laws tell you who you are not. I see you. You are valid. You deserve to be protected.” Thank you LIZZO! 🫶👑🏳️‍⚧️✊

.Gretchen Whitmer at this year’s HRC National Dinner: “I’m here to tell anyone who’s listening that fighting for basic, fundamental freedoms is the right thing to do and the politically smart thing to do every single time.”

“It’s easy to be an ally when it’s easy to be an ally. What really matters is knowing who’s going to be at your side and stand up when it’s hard.” — Governor Tim Walz Governor Walz is the DEFINITION of an ally and has shown up for our community since the 90s.

This beautiful story touches so many of us, Governor Tim Walz. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

"I am here in front of this committee instead of on my summer vacation just to ensure that my right to exist is not taken away.” Trans kids shouldn't be having to fight tooth and nail just to ensure their rights are protected.

"I don't need you to protect my kid. I need to protect my kid from you." Watch this Texas mom speak out against legislation attempting to ban the medical care that saved her child.

33 lives lost to senseless violent acts. 33 lives cut short. 33 people with loved ones, dreams, hopes. Each of them had a name. Each of them had a story. We remember them today and always. #TDOR #TransDayofRemembrance

“He’s asking me to be complicit in this legislature’s eradication of our community, and I refuse to do so." Rep. Zephyr delivers powerful testimony as she faces censure or expulsion for speaking out against anti-trans bills in Montana.

"That invisible data is what I care about &amp; what we should all care about, especially those who have the power to decide what stories are told &amp; what stories are seen." 📣🙌 #ALeagueOfTheirOwn deserves more, Prime Video! #RepresentationMatters Will Graham A League of Their Own

T-minus one day until National Coming Out Day! Check out just a handful of characters and icons who’ve come out this year. #NationalComingOutDay

Today we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and the heroes like Mark Bingham who made a difference. With you, today and every day.

Pride was a riot before it was a parade. This Pride, we celebrate and continue to fight.

25 years ago, Matthew Shepard was the victim of an anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime. As hate against our community is at an all time high, the Shepards want to remind you to be proud of being exactly who you are. #EraseHate #MatthewShepard Matthew Shepard Foundation

“Visibility starts in our homes and our communities. We see you.” Thank you Leisha Hailey for speaking today with White House Press Office Karine Jean-Pierre in honor of #LesbianVisibilityWeek!

JD Vance disturbingly referred to gun violence as a “fact of life.” As Coach Walz makes clear, it is NOT a fact of life, but a crisis we fix so our kids can do what they should at school: LEARN.

"What is the leading cause of death among children in this country? And I'm going to give you a hint, it's not drag show readings to children.” Elected officials should focus on strengthening gun safety laws instead of criminalizing drag shows. Drag is not killing our kids!

“If someone is trying to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you.” Can we get an amen? Wise words from RuPaul and RuPaulsDragRace on the importance of protecting our power as LGBTQ+ people in the face of anti-drag attacks. #Emmys
