A message from organizations committed to advancing LGBTQ freedom beyond the 2024 elections
Leaders of more than 80 LGBTQ organizations from around the country released the following joint statement to the Washington Blade on Wednesday: Our LGBTQIA2S+ community has risen again and again to meet moments that have challenged our rights, our humanity, and our freedom.
Today is no different. Ours is a long history of never backing down from a fight for our rights. United in our strength, during the most difficult of times, we have pushed forward and achieved significant progress across the decades.
From the early days of the Mattachine Society and Daughters of Bilitis, to the Stonewall Uprising and HIV/AIDS activism, to achieving marriage equality and anti-discrimination protections in the workplace, to the fight for transgender rights, and beyond, we march on.
For every member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and for those who support us: We’ve got this. We’ve got us. No matter who you are, where you live, or the outcome of yesterday’s election, today we are an LGBTQIA2S+ community united.
