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

Our partners at the Trevor Project share five steps to support LGBTQ+ youth on International Day to End Conversion Therapy & share a worldwide call to end the discredited and dangerous practice: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/idect/

At the top of the window is the logo for We Need Diverse Books, followed by the name of the organization and a subtitle denoting it as a Nonprofit Organization. Body text beneath says, “Follow us to discover & support even more diverse stories like this!” Underneath the body text is a row of green icons, indicating how people can engage with this post by liking, sharing, commenting, and saving.

The comment period for the Trump administration’s proposed attacks on health care for trans youth is open. It’s OUR TIME to speak out.

HHS is required BY LAW to review every comment submitted. Submit yours now and help spread the word: hrc.im/comment
A crowd of diverse protestors appears on a gradient background with the trans flag colors. A halftone image of an arm holding a megaphone along with blue and yellow text reads, “Trans youth need your voice now,” followed by a link to hrc.im/comment.” The HRC logo appears.

Thank You, Mr.Reiner for making us laugh, making us cry, and for seeing us.

We are heartbroken about the loss of legendary actor, director, and LGBTQ+ activist Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.
A photo of Rob and Michele Reiner at an HRC event. A quote attributed to Rob Reiner is displayed: “We have to move past singling out transgender, LGBTQ, Black, white, Jewish, Muslim, Latino. We have to get way past that and start accepting the idea that we're all human beings. We’re all human beings, we all share the same planet, and we should all have the same rights, period."

Happy Hanukkah from PFLAG Dayton 🕎

As we light the candles this Hanukkah, we celebrate the power of light over darkness, hope over fear, and love over hate.

May this Festival of Lights bring you warmth, peace, and moments of connection with those you love. ✨
A gold menorah on a green background. A red dreidel is slightly forward of the menorah. A large font states, "Happy Hanukkah!", followed by slightly smaller, "A joyous and warm holiday to all who celebrate".

New data reports that LGBTQ+ people — especially trans & nonbinary people — have been forced to make significant changes to their daily lives, confirming the real-world harm that anti-equality politicians have on our community.

We will not be deterred. We will fight for our freedom to exist.
Since November 2024, 57% of LGBTQ, including 84% of trans and nonbinary people have made significant life decisions or taken steps in response to LGBTQ-related politics or laws, including: taken steps to be LESS visible, considered moving to a different state, found a different job, updated legal name or gender markers, crossed state lines to receive health care. HRC logo appears in top right corner. Since November 2024, 60% of LGBTQ people report that they or an immediate family member have had at least one negative experience related to being LGBTQ. Since November 2024, 60% of LGBTQ people report that they or an immediate family member have had at least one negative experience related to being LGBTQ. More than 70% of LGBTQ respondents say Trump's anti-LGBTQ actions make them feel: DISGUSTED, ANGRY, WORRIED, ANXIOUS, AFRAID.

Super Secret Hint for PFLAG Dayton and a seasonal happening....
@justinepwinans.bsky.social
Cover of Justine Pucella Winan's book, The Otherwoods, the title in a dark yellow. This is in rich jewel tones of purple, burgundy, greens and blues. It features a dark haired, non binary preteen, with a cat on their shoulders and a frightened look on their face. The Stonewall Honor Book medallion is on the lower right of the cover.
