OUT FOR BIDEN! I am extremely humbled to be partnering with so many iconic LGBTQ+ activists, advocates & community leaders to support President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with “Out for Biden-Harris!” As Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez has said, “LGBTQ+ Americans couldn’t have more at stake this election: Donald Trump and his extremist allies are running to gut LGBTQ+ rights and erase history as their top priorities. LGBTQ+ Americans deserve leaders who will fight for every American’s freedom and dignity. That’s what President Biden and Vice President Harris have done throughout their time in office, and what they will do if reelected, including pressing Congress to pass the Equality Act.” This election, there’s so much at stake for the LBGTQ+ community – for our families, our freedoms, and our futures. Out for Biden-Harris will mobilize voters around the clear choice. President Biden believes that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity and be able to live without fear no matter who they are or who they love. We get the government we elect so please join us in re-electing the most pro-LGBTQ+ President and Vice President to ever occupy the White House! #OutForBiden #LGBTQIA #WhiteHouse https://lnkd.in/eYV63X7b

After a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills were filed across the nation in 2023, LGBTQ+ Americans have already seen 125+ anti-trans bills filed within the first week of 2024. In Kentucky, where the community is still navigating 2023’s Senate Bill 150, one of the strictest anti-trans bills in the country, Queer Kentucky is closely following the 2024 General Assembly for other LGBTQ+-targeted bills. Also at play is the potential for anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric to become a major theme in this upcoming election year. In Kentucky, all 100 state house seats and half of the state senate seats (19) are up for election. In what can be seen as a response to last year’s anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, there was a number of LGBTQ+ candidates filing prior to the deadline. Here are four races to watch featuring LGBTQ+ Kentuckians running for the Kentucky State House or State Senate:

"At least two million LGBTQ Americans are not registered to vote." Folx, #voting is the cornerstone of #democracy, and for LGBTQ+ people, it holds particular significance in ensuring the protection of our #rights and freedoms. Every election cycle brings crucial decisions about policies, legislation, and representatives that directly impact us. From anti-discrimination laws to marriage equality, these pivotal issues are being shaped by the votes and advocacy of our community, including our #allies. Without active participation in the electoral process, we risk losing even more of our rights. Voting empowers us to have a say in our own destiny and to hold our elected officials accountable for upholding the principles of #equality and #inclusivity. Not voting effectively means relinquishing a fundamental tool for change and progress. It denies us a voice in shaping the political landscape and leaves us vulnerable to the influence of those who may not prioritize LGBTQ+ rights or may be entirely against us. If we neglect our civic duty to vote, we forfeit our right to voice discontent when anti-LGBTQ+ #legislation is enacted. Please read Sarah Kate Ellis' essay. Please register to vote. And please vote!

Catalyst. Creative. Connector./ An advocate for LGBTQ+ equality and committed non-profit board member./ Curious. Unconventional. Empathetic./ A proponent for inter-generational work and learning.
Beyond thrilled about today's launch of The "Out for Biden-Harris" campaign. I still remember when then Vice-President Biden pushed President Obama into outwardly supporting marriage equality. It was a demonstration of his commitment to the #LGBTQ+ population in the United States. Today, Gallup reports that we are 7.6% of the U.S. population, and our numbers edge higher with our younger counterparts. These are self-reported numbers and given all of the hate, violence and legislation that we've experienced since 2016, I'm sure the size of our population is perhaps greater. There is no question about Joe and Kamala's full support of #Queer people. And I hope that I can see a day when it doesn't matter if you are a democrat or republican in elected office, that you believe in our full rights, our full equality and our full dignity (and hopefully on the last point, the Catholic Church will come around). Being for our inclusion isn't about politics, it is about human rights. Yet, one party has preyed upon us. One party has so-called leaders who consider us to be "filth." One party is truly trying to move us back into that lonely closet. And I can tell you from the years I existed in one; it's terrifying. So yes, as a proud board member of the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute, I am working to ensure that more LGBTQ people feel confident in doing something that I lacked confidence in: running for office. And part of this means, supporting candidates like Sarah McBride, Malcolm Kenyatta, Joe Vogel, Will Rollins in their runs for office this year. But as a gay man, I am well aware of the threat that exists for our wonderful fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer citizens. And that's why I believe we all need to be "Out for Biden-Harris." And a word to businesses. I recognize that businesses are non-partisan. But I also believe that you hold sway and command attention. Please let your employees and customers know that you support LGBTQ full equality. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain in being on the right side of history. Supporting politicians and rulers who think we are filth and support our imprisonment and worse is dangerous and shows a lack of moral courage.

Around 80 countries are going to have national elections this year: we could be living in a very different world in 2025. Here in the US there is a festering fear that young voters - who saved us from Trump in 2020 - are less likely to do so this year. Many young men are becoming increasingly attracted to Trump's brand of toxic masculinity. And young progressives are asking harder questions and expecting more from Democrats to earn their votes. Here's what we learned from the LGBTQ+ Women's national survey about how queer young women are deeply engaged in politics, but also increasingly disaffected by main stream organizations and parties. Download our infographic below.

Reading about the continuous erosion of LGBTQIA+ rights is emotionally exhausting. The constant battle for our basic #rights, even the right to exist, feels like rowing against a relentless current. If I had a dollar for every article discussing our rights, I'd never have to work again. Kelley Robinson’s perspective on shifting from assimilation to embracing #diversity resonates deeply. It reflects the sentiment that we shouldn't have to conform to be #accepted and deserve rights. The fight for #equality is like a marathon, and it's heartbreaking to see setbacks in recent years. Robinson's approach of disrupting the status quo and seeking change at its roots is inspiring. The upcoming #election in 2024 is pivotal, emphasizing the need for representation not just at the national level but also in state #legislatures and local #governments. The battles to roll back rights are fought in these arenas, making it crucial to elect #candidates aligned with our cause. The call for setting new expectations for a government that legislates with the LGBTQIA+ community in mind is a rallying cry for progress. The fatigue we feel is real, but the hope lies in reshaping the narrative and steering towards a more inclusive future. #LGBTQIA #GenderIdentity #SexualOrientation #Voting

Voters for LGBTQ equality and everyone’s fundamental freedoms came out in force in the 2023 election, reflecting the reality that a supermajority of Americans support LGBTQ people and our right not to be discriminated against. The results will lead to a better lived reality for LGBTQ people in the South and Midwest, and send a message to all lawmakers: LGBTQ people are valued members of our communities, we value everyone’s freedom to be themselves and make their own health care decisions, and we embrace diversity in our elected officials. LGBTQ voters and our allies must continue to use the power of their voice and votes for equality and a more just and prosperous country, and build on this momentum for the consequential elections of 2024 – we can’t wait. #Elections #LGBTQRights #Equality
