We’re America’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization. We proudly fight for a world where equality wins at home, school, work, and every community.
Trump’s Department of Education is no longer tracking harassment, bullying, or assaults of transgender or nonbinary students, putting them at risk in a place they should feel safe. This is a travesty. But HRC’s Welcoming Schools Program will always show up for all kids. welcomingschools.org

Republicans crave a scapegoat. Instead of prosecuting the people in the Epstein files, our government is prosecuting a public servant who saved millions during the AIDS epidemic and beyond. It’s McCarthy all over again. https://bsky.app/profile/joncooper-us.bsky.social/post/3mrsjbuzwvk2h

BREAKING: We’re suing Trump. Again. Today, as part of a continuing case, we filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of federal employees against Trump’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for eliminating health insurance coverage for transgender healthcare.

All @nikkihiltz.bsky.social knows is how to win. The victory marks Hiltz’s fourth consecutive outdoor U.S. title and cements their place as one of the most dominant forces in American middle-distance running.
We have always been a part of history. Period. This Transgender History Month, the fight for equality continues in honor of our trailblazing ancestors like: Marsha P. Johnson Sylvia Rivera Miss Major Griffin-Gracy Lou Sullivan Stormé DeLarverie And so many more. 🩵🩷🤍
Living with HIV should never be treated as a crime. After years of hard work from LGBTQ+ advocates and lawmakers, Pennsylvania is taking an important step toward ending outdated laws rooted in stigma instead of science. https://www.advocate.com/politics/states/pennsylvania-hiv-decriminilization

Yes, you read that right: Girls trying to join their local school soccer team in Washington State may be forced to “prove” their gender. These transphobic attacks are thinly veiled attempts to strip ALL OF US of our rights.
19thnews@19thnews.org · last wk.Similar initiatives will appear on the ballot in Arizona and Colorado but unlike those measures, which would broadly require schools to designate athletic programs as definitively male, female or co-ed, Washington state’s initiative applies to only girls’ sports.

Prides are meant to be a place where all can feel safe, welcome, and seen. We are sending our love to the victims, their families, and the entire city of Berlin today.
My thoughts are with Berlin’s LGBTQ+ community and all those affected by tonight’s terrible incident in what should have been a day of celebration and joy. Watching closely as more confirmed information comes out Germany.

We’re saddened to learn a member of our LGBTQ+ community was among the U.S. servicemembers killed in the Iran war last weekend. Sgt. Angel Rampersad’s family described her as a "gentle giant" and “defender and friend." We honor Sgt. Rampersad, who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
LGBTQ+ veteran @caitfornewyork.bsky.social is ready to take the fight to the House for New York 17th district! She’ll stand up for our rights, defend healthcare, support the Equality Act, and defeat Mike Lawler’s extreme agenda. Conley is a proven leader ready to protect our rights!

WIN: Last night, the U.S. House shot down a permanent version of Trump and Hegseth’s discriminatory policy banning trans individuals from serving in the military. This bipartisan rebuke proves what we already know: Everyone who meets the same rigorous standards should be able to serve.

LGBTQ+ leader @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social is taking the fight for equality to Congress for CA-48th District. She’s already delivered real results for California residents and will defend LGBTQ+ rights, protect healthcare, and advocate for fair housing.
Change begins with just one story. Zero HIV Stigma Day honors Prudence Nobantu Mabele, who was one of the first Black South African women to publicly share her HIV status, along with countless other activists who have worked to improve life outcomes for those living with HIV.
In the history of the men’s World Cup, there has never been an openly gay player on the field. That needs to change.
A healthier future starts by protecting everyone’s right to quality care. That’s worth fighting for.
