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 — without exception.
From her time leading the fight against hate crimes in San Francisco to her time as Vice President in the most pro-LGBTQ+ administration in U.S. history, Kamala Harris is a champion for LGBTQ+ equality.
We are proud to enthusiastically endorse the qualified, formidable, and experienced Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States.
We are deeply grateful to President Biden for his more than 50 years of public service and his longtime support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Today’s announcement reflects his legacy and what President Biden has done his entire career: put the needs of Americans and his country above his own.
As a trans kid, Conner advocated for herself by testifying in front of politicians.
Having just turned 18, she is now exercising her right to vote to help usher in a better future for herself and trans kids everywhere.

From reproductive rights to democracy itself, we know what’s at stake.
That is why we continue to champion for reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, while stopping extremist politicians driving the harmful Project 2025 and attempting to strip our rights away.

talks more about what we can do in this pivotal moment.
If Donald Trump is elected, he would most likely ban not only abortion, but also some forms of birth control and assisted fertility treatments like IVF.
“I saw a number of people just being able to be themselves and be able to kiss their partner and dance and feel connected … it was just beautiful.”
Every person deserves to be who they are with who they love. That’s why the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s 27th annual LGBTQ+ Senior Prom is such an important event for so many people who never got to experience that openness and joy in high school.

“It’s a wonderful thing to be in a place where you’re totally accepted for who you are,” said Andre Simpson, 67, about the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s senior prom.
The only thing longer than Trump's rambling convention speech last night is the list of lies he's told throughout this campaign. His new favorite lie? Distancing himself from Project 2025. Voters are catching on to his dangerous plan, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Project 2025 is a clear blueprint for a second Trump term designed by and alongside some of his most extreme MAGA bullies. The difference between what the two candidates have done in office and will do if re-elected couldn’t be clearer.
Across the country, Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Q***r (LGBTQ+) people are living through an unprecedented state of emergency. In recent years, anti-LGBTQ+ legislators took direct marching orders from extremist groups that urged them to tell their LGBTQ+ constituents that they should not...
Donald Trump is officially the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States.
His first administration was the most anti-LGBTQ+ administration in modern American history, and now, Project 2025 aims to expand the harm of Trump’s first term.
Get the facts on Trump’s first term: https://hrc.im/adminreport
Donald Trump is the most anti-LGBTQ+ president we've had in American history.
Remember that when he speaks tonight at the Republican National Convention.

Ahead of JD Vance’s speech at the Republican National Convention tonight, let’s remember: Trump’s VP pick comes loaded with an arsenal of hate, from opposing marriage equality and abortion to denouncing protections for LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. Hear it in his own words.
Hate like this doesn’t belong in the White House. Show up with millions of Equality Voters this November: hrc.im/showup
On the first night of the RNC, multiple speakers spread anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and disinformation.
Using their platform to spread more hate is counterproductive. Anti-LGBTQ+ attacks will not unify; they just deepen division.

J.D. Vance is a first-term senator from Ohio who has built his political career by cozying up to Silicon Valley billionaires and the MAGA elite.
Since first running for office in 2022, Vance has spewed anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation:
❌Defended anti-LGBTQ+ smear campaigns
❌Believes LGBTQ+ people should NOT be included under federal nondiscrimination protections
❌Supports NO EXCEPTIONS for r**e or in**st in abortion legislation
❌Voted against a bill to protect access to IVF
❌Introduced a ban on health care for trans youth
J.D. Vance is a textbook MAGA politician who lies, believes in rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ people, and advocates for restrictive abortion care.
We cannot allow Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to implement their backward-looking agenda.
Join the Human Rights Campaign as WE SHOW UP! It’s time to harness the power of our community and make our voices heard in our communities, not just at the ballot box but at the state house, school boards, and more.
Donald Trump announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate for vice president.
Vance is a MAGA bully and a Trump-Vance administration would be abysmal for LGBTQ+ rights and our democracy.
J.D. Vance’s retrograde beliefs would revert the progress LGBTQ+ Americans have made. From attacking the Equality Act, opposing marriage equality, and even supporting a business’s ability to deny services to LGBTQ+ people, Vance is a direct threat to our freedoms. He is also vehemently anti-abortion and voted against protecting access to IVF.
We can’t afford a Trump-Vance administration. We must defend our hard-earned rights, our democracy, and our future: https://hrc.im/showup
BREAKING: Donald Trump has chosen Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. Vance has pushed anti-LGBTQ+ smear campaigns, opposes anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ community, and promises to support a national abortion ban. Once a fierce critic of Trump, Vance has kissed the ring and become Trump’s latest yes-man.
In November, the choice is not only between two campaigns but also between two different visions of America. Join Equality Voters in making sure that Donald Trump NEVER returns to the White House at hrc.org/weshowup

Pride is a celebration, a movement, and a protest all at once. We asked folks at D.C Pride what Pride means to them: #LGBTQ #TransRights #WeShowUp #Pride
Let’s remember what we’re fighting for. Now, let’s talk about the conventions, why they are important, and what we know about the 2024 RNC and DNC.
