The @NFL has been a strong partner to @GLAAD for over 12 years. This visible partnership is essential because as LGBTQ people, we don’t get to hide who we are. When the NFL is a visible and vocal ally, it signals to other brands and leaders to do the same. (3/3)

'But most of all I'm human': These 3 transgender teens prove identity stretches beyond one label

More than 700 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced this year. But as Pride Month 2023 arrives, these trans youths are setting quite the example.

On this first day of Pride, we are sharing a special documentary focusing on six transgender teens from the @GenderCool Project and their parents. A conversation like this has never happened before on American television, until now. The special is streaming now on Hulu and OurAmericaABC.com. Check your local listings because it will also air on our streaming channel @ABCNewsLive and ABC Owned Television Stations.

Parents like me want an America where AK-15 assault rifles do not have more rights than people of color or women or LGBTQ Americans. #GLAADAwards

With more than 450 anti-LGBTQI+ bills filed nationwide, including nearly 300 targeting kids, @PressSec says @POTUS "will continue fighting for all Americans and their dignity, because equality under the law isn’t just a slogan, it’s a bedrock principle of our democracy."

Parents of trans kids, like myself, need our neighbors to help us stand up to the GOP politicians imposing policies that would tear our families apart.

So proud of my daughter and the other LGBTQ youth on GLAADS's 20 under 20 who are "building an unapologetic tomorrow for all of us." They are our present and future; we owe it to them to vote for leaders who believe in a diverse and inclusive America. teenvogue.com/story/glaad-20…

We were blessed to spend time with Momma Gloria here in Chicago. I tell my beautiful friend @luchina that Luchina gave Gloria the greatest gift in the world by telling her beautiful life story in the amazing docu Momma Gloria.

Gloria Allen, the Chicago LGBTQ icon who ran a charm school for transgender youth, died at 76. "She heard what was on their minds. She heard what had happened to them. And she said, You’re important, and I see you and I love you, and I want you to succeed" washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Her school inspired the play “Charm” by Philip Dawkins, who called her “the mother of queer Chicago.” She was also the subject of a documentary, “Mama Gloria.”

.@POTUS says "I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade into law, and if the filibuster gets in the way ...we should provide an exception for this". It's about the "right to privacy - not just abortion rights"
