What better way to start 2026 than suing the Trump administration? That’s right: HRC Foundation is launching a class action on behalf of federal workers and their families.

We will not sit back and let these dedicated public servants lose vital health care coverage without a fight.

“We are stronger when people are not paying a tax on hiding their identity.”

Colonel Bree Fram, U.S. Space Force (Ret.) is right: Our country is safer when all servicemembers are welcomed so that they can focus on the mission at hand.

We will never stop fighting for our LGBTQ+ servicemembers.

LGBTQ+ youth are loved and valid exactly as they are.

Throughout his career, @governorwalz.mn.gov has fought for the dignity of our community and made equality a hallmark of his leadership.

Anti-equality lawmakers have obsessively attacked trans people for years — many under the guise of “religion.”

These ten diverse religious leaders are reaffirming their love and support for trans people. https://www.washingtonblade.com/2025/12/02/faith-leaders-denounce-anti-transgender-attacks/

it’s almost like they don’t actually care about your health care 🫠
January 2, 2026 at 8:20 PM
Our visibility matters.

As anti-equality forces wish to cast our community aside, recent data reports that more than 9 in 10 LGBTQ people are out to at least one person in their lives.

For those who can, we must continue to be out, proudly and defiantly. https://pewrsr.ch/3L4HcAh

Lauren Chan is right: There is no “right” age or time to discover who you are. You are valid in just being your authentic self.

When Amy Heutmaker faced intense online harassment, she considered dropping out of the race.

Instead, she doubled down on her message: Meeting her neighbors. Amy won her race, becoming one of the first openly trans elected officials at the municipal level in OH. Congrats Amy! https://bit.ly/4pQ3cOy

As we recharge from a difficult year, remember what Joli Robsinson, CEO of Center on Halsted in Chicago, said:

“Let us honor our ancestors’ resistance in how we choose to remain rooted in joy.”

Joy is an act of resistance.
