Over the last year, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community saw both the depths of hatred and discrimination aimed at us and some of the brightest, most historic moments of support we have ever received.
As the leader of the United States’ largest LGBTQ civil rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), I have had the somber task of attending vigil after vigil for those killed simply because of who they are — whether they were dancing away a Saturday night in Orlando or advocating for their rights in Bangladesh.
The LGBTQ community is under attack across the globe, and that’s why it’s incumbent upon all of us to keep pushing forward and strengthen our global movement.
