Dear Friend,

In Escambia County, Florida, school board members ignored their own policies that safeguarded LGBTQ books—and even fired the superintendent who stood up for students’ freedom to read books of their choice.

And in Georgia, a beloved librarian was fired for including a children’s book about a transgender boy in a display created by young readers.

These are not isolated cases. Across the country, extremist groups are targeting queer stories and any book that affirms the existence of LGBTQ people.

You see, it isn’t just about books. It’s about silencing voices and controlling what our kids are allowed to read and know about themselves and others.

GLAAD refuses to let that happen. But we need you to help fight back.

Your support helps keep LGBTQ stories visible by amplifying voices, challenging censorship, and changing culture through media and advocacy.

Together, we can do this. Every person deserves to see themselves reflected in a story.

In solidarity,

GLAAD

P.S. We need 458 more supporters to give at least $50 to reach our goal. Are you one of them? Make your best gift here >>>
