Year after year, the Supreme Court’s relentless power grab costs us our lives, freedoms and democracy. We’re done paying the price. As the justices hand down their final decisions, it’s time to take power back from the Court so that it works for US! We deserve better than a doggedly partisan Court that trades in our lives, our freedoms, and our democracy in order to help the ultra rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. And better is possible if only our members of Congress are bold enough to act — and we are bold enough to demand they do. LGBTQ+ rights, among so many other rights, are under attack in states across the country. The Supreme Court will hear cases next term that impact these rights. It’s time for Congress to fight to give #PowerBackToThePeople by boldly committing to fix the Court.

THE DIFFERENCES ARE STARK AND CLEAR!!

GLAAD’s 2024 Accelerating Acceptance Study arrives at a monumental inflection point for the LGBTQ community and for our entire country. While #acceptance for #LGBTQ people remains at supermajority levels, the data this year also sounds substantial alarms about threats to this progress and to freedoms valued by every American. The same extremist lawmakers, judges and media sources targeting abortion access, contraception, free and fair elections, and free speech, are using the same strategies of fear and disinformation to undermine LGBTQ people and our equality. Fortunately, the data also points to proven ways to keep expanding and accelerating acceptance. Our study shows that more non-LGBTQ people have been inspired to speak up for LGBTQ #equality as a result of accurate news coverage, and voters have shown up in election after election to reject extremist candidates and their anti-trans campaigns. GLAAD’s Accelerating Acceptance Study should continue to inspire and empower all of us to rise up and speak out for everyone’s freedom to be themselves. Our #safety, our collective success, and the future of our democracy depend on it. Check out GLAAD’s 2024 Accelerating Acceptance Study here ⤵ https://lnkd.in/g4NujX2M

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, symbolizes the liberation of enslaved African Americans on June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day is a celebration of resilience, freedom, and a reminder of the continuous struggle for equality and justice. As we honor this day, it's crucial to recognize and celebrate the intersection of Black and LGBTQ+ communities. Both continue to face systemic oppression, discrimination, and violence. The liberation of one group cannot be fully realized without the liberation of all. The struggles at the intersection of racism, homophobia, and transphobia highlight the importance of understanding how various forms of discrimination overlap and impact people's lives. Together, we can continue to push for a society where freedom, equality, and love are not just ideals, but realities for everyone. #Juneteenth #PrideMonth #BlackLGBTQ #FreedomDay #Intersectionality #EqualityForAll
