Following the results of the 2024 election, over 150 LGBTQ+ organizations released a shared statement about the future of LGBTQ+ rights and support. The organizations, including the National LGBTQ Task Force, PFLAG and GLAAD among dozens of regional organizations, state their commitment to continuing the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and freedom in the face of unprecedented backlash. Here is the statement in full. 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: Weve got this. Weve got us. No matter who you are, where you live, or the outcome of yesterdays election, today we are an LGBTQIA2S+ community united. Together, across races, places, genders, and abilities, we have shown up for each other by organizing, mobilizing, and casting our ballots for the freedom to be ourselves. Our work continues.Election outcomes at national, state, and local levels will impact our health, our safety, and our rights as LGBTQIA2S+ people and families. Despite anti-LGBTQIA2S+ efforts to divide our communities, and particularly severe attacks against transgender people and LGBTQIA2S+ youth, we have succeeded in moving a few steps closer toward equity and justice for our community. In particular, we celebrate the election of the first openly transgender person to U.S. Congress, Rep. Sarah McBride (Del.), as well as out lawmakers U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson (Texas), and State Rep. Wick Thomas (Mo.), and cementing the freedom to marry for same-sex couples in California, Colorado, and Hawaii.Across the country, LGBTQIA2S+ organizations and advocates engaged and educated voters, made calls, sent texts, and knocked on doors to ensure every voter had the information necessary to cast a ballot. Every single conversation reflected our commitment to vote for our families, our freedoms, and our futures.We know that so much more work lies ahead of us. Yet as an LGBTQIA2S+ movement, we will continue to work towards what we always have: a country where all LGBTQIA2S+ people are safe, seen, and accepted for who we truly are, without exception. We are here together, and we will move forward. Weve got this. Weve got us.Shared by:Advocates for Trans EqualityAdvocates for YouthAIDS UnitedAlaskans Together For EqualityAlliance For Full Acceptance SCALSO YouthArkansas Black Gay Mens ForumBasic Rights OregonBlue Ridge PrideBurbank Community YMCA Social Impact CenterCAMP RehobothCenterLink: The Community of LGBTQ CentersCentral Valley Gender Health and WellnessCOLAGECompass LGBTQ Community CenterCrawfordsville Pride-Crawfordsville, INEDGE New JerseyEquality FederationEquality ArizonaEquality CaliforniaEquality DelawareEquality FloridaEquality IllinoisEquality MichiganEquality New MexicoEquality OhioEquality South DakotaEquality TexasEquality VirginiaFair WisconsinFairness CampaignFairness West VirginiaFamily EqualityForum for Equality LouisianaForum for Equality LouisianaFriends of Dorothy of IndianaGarden State EqualityGender JusticeGeorgia EqualityGLAADGLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law)Grand Rapids Pride CenterGreenwood Indiana PrideHuman Rights CampaignIYGLambda LegalLGBTQ+ Victory FundLGBTQ+ Victory InstituteLos Angeles LGBT CenterLouisville Youth GroupLoving Beyond UnderstandingMassachusetts Transgender Political CoalitionMassEqualityMovement Advancement ProjectNaper Pride IncNational Center for Lesbian RightsNational LGBTQ Task ForceNBJCNorth Dakota Human Rights CoalitionNorthwest Arkansas EqualityNoVA Prism CenterOmaha ForUs LGBTQ+ CenterOne ColoradoOne IowaOur Spot KCOutFront MinnesotaOutNebraskaPatchwork Transgender Peer SupportPFLAG NationalPFLAG AkronPFLAG Athens, TNPFLAG BlairsvillePFLAG BowiePFLAG BurbankPFLAG Cape CodPFLAG Cape GirardeauPFLAG Carson RegionPFLAG CharlottePFLAG ChattanoogaPFLAG Clayton-ConcordPFLAG Corydon-LeavenworthPFLAG Danville San Ramon ValleyPFLAG Danville / Central Susquehanna ValleyPFLAG DenverPFLAG Door CountyPFLAG DuPagePFLAG Fort CollinsPFLAG FranklinPFLAG Franklin-HampshirePFLAG Ft WorthPFLAG Geneva/Tri-CitiesPFLAG GeorgetownPFLAG Greater BostonPFLAG Greater OrlandoPFLAG Greater Placer CountyPFLAG Greater St. LouisPFLAG GreensburgPFLAG Hampton RoadsPFLAG HartfordPFLAG Jersey ShorePFLAG Lafayette/Tippecanoe CountyPFLAG LamorindaPFLAG Lower ColumbiaPFLAG Nazareth/Lehigh ValleyPFLAG Safety HarborPFLAG Salisbury RowanPFLAG San Diego CountyPFLAG SocorroPFLAG Storm LakePFLAG TulsaPFLAG WaukeshaPositive Womens Network USAPride FriscoPride LafayettePride Richland County (Illinois)Prism UnitedProject LPACQ Center PDXQueer KeysQueer VoxQueering The Binary FoundationRochester Rainbow UnionRockland County Pride CenterSAGESeacoast OutrightShellys Voice AdvocacyShoals Diversity CenterSilver State EqualityTennessee Equality ProjectThe Center for HIV Law and PolicyThe Frederick CenterThe LGBTQ Community Center of the DesertThe Pride Center at Equality ParkThe Prideful Path ProjectThe Trevor ProjectTime Out YouthTransformation ProjectTransgender Law CenterTransgender Resource Center of New MexicoTransLafayetteTransOhioUs Giving Richmond ConnectionsVolusia PrideWaves Ahead Corp Puerto RicoThe post Over 150 LGBTQ+ organizationsrelease post-election shared solidarity statement appeared first on News Is Out.
