“Even as we’re seeing terrible things happen across the country and we're seeing so much cynical political volleying at the expense of trans people, we are also fighting back and winning… Victories are possible, including in tough places.” -GLAD Attorney Chris Erchull

It was a record year for attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. From drag and book bans to limits on gender-affirming care access, here are the numbers to know. Read more below: ⬇️ https://t.co/NauZ9ueVg6

Florida is ground zero for a campaign targeting LGBTQ+ people’s right to be ourselves. We’ll be back in court this week challenging one of the most restrictive and hostile anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the country, SB 254.

By considering book bans, the New Hampshire Department of Education Commissioner frays the bonds of trust and cooperation among parents, schools, and students.

Book bans undermine diversity and inclusion in our schools—and raise serious legal questions.

[GLAD Law @GLADLaw]

Today, GLAD and @ACLU_NH sent letters to the NH Dept. of Education and superintendents.

The letters explain the harms of book bans and how books help educate all students, creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. Learn more: https://t.co/hGTkbfu9tw

Today is International Day of People with Disabilities. For the 1 billion people in the world with disabilities, bodily autonomy is a right but not always a reality.

An inclusive & equitable world is possible, but only if we respect the rights of disabled people🧡

On #WorldAIDSDay, we unite in the fight to end the HIV epidemic, support people living with HIV/AIDS, and honor those we've lost. That means ending stigma and discrimination, and ensuring equitable access to treatment and prevention for all who need it.

[GLAD Law @GLADLaw]

We’re hiring a Staff Attorney! This is an exciting opportunity for an emerging legal leader to learn from our experienced and intergenerational legal team and make a meaningful impact in the movement for LGBTQ+ equality.

While the incident is still being investigated, the current rise in anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence is chilling. We must remain committed to ending hate-motivated violence in all forms.

We are horrified at the shooting of three students of Palestinian descent in Burlington, VT, on Saturday and join in hopes for their recovery. Our hearts are with their loved ones, neighbors, and the Vermont community where this happened.

[Vermont Public @vermontpublic]

UPDATE: The Burlington Police Department says it has arrested a man in connection with the shooting of three young men of Palestinian descent in Burlington Saturday.

National Day of Mourning grieves the genocide of Indigenous people and the theft of Native land. It’s a day of remembrance and reflection, and a protest of racism and oppression against Indigenous people. Learn more and watch the event in Plymouth: https://t.co/r3s2RXsyjJ #NDOM23

We appreciate the Healey/Driscoll administration’s focus on providing resources to strengthen community-led prevention efforts, and support work to foster positive school environments and more inclusive and resilient communities across the state. https://t.co/zQwm9zH0xw

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Today, we stood together with @MassAGO, legislative partners, civil rights advocates and law enforcement to say loudly, clearly, and with one voice:

Hate has no place in Massachusetts.

Lillian Bernier's employer is refusing to cover her essential medical care because she is transgender. GLAD is suing the company and the healthcare plan administrator in federal court on her behalf.

"With a truer memory of the marriage fight – the deep resistance and the strategies that enabled victory – we’re confident we will also win full equality for transgender people."
