GLAAD urges all media covering Trump’s choice for vice president to include his history of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and policy.
LGBTQ Americans are taxpayers, family members, colleagues, classmates, neighbors and friends, and our concerns are the same as any Americans: our freedom to be ourselves to live in safety and dignity, the right to make private health care decisions, read books of our choosing, marry who we love, and not be discriminated against for who we are.
Media must include LGBTQ people in all stories and conversations about policies affecting us and our families.
Our concerns are not a ‘culture war’ sideshow—they are central to the core issues of this election, and the freedoms all Americans want to preserve and protect.
