As we step forward with a new year under this administration, it's time we take a look back at how recent policies have been shaping life within our LGBTQ+ community. Over this past year, we've faced some pretty intense challenges and shifts, especially when it comes down squarely on transgender folks.
How LGBTQ+ rights have been affected
We're diving deep. We want you all on board as we dig through these impacts from every angle. Our upcoming publication will pull together insightful pieces from our writers and experts, all examining how these policies are changing what it means—day in and day out—for LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms. And let's not forget: amidst all this, we've seen inspiring resilience from activists, politicians, and community leaders standing tall against adversity.

We know that personal stories can spark real change. That's why we're reaching out directly: we want you, our incredible and diverse community, involved. What's your story under this administration?
