With a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ laws being brought up around the country, here is what you can do to help fight them.
The American Civil Liberties Union has been a longtime fighter for LGBTQ+ equality and has athat cover everything from your individual rights as a queer renter to whether you can get fired for being queer at your job. For those who have larger legal questions that center on your rights as an LGBTQ+ person, the ACLU are incredibly helpful.
LGBTQ+ people are in every town in every state in every country across the world, whether you see them or not. If you have the means to host a community event or begin organizing for local queer activism, then in doing so, you can create immediate change by showing your queer neighbors that someone is fighting for them.
If no openly queer candidates are running in your area, reaching out and seeing how local candidates feel about queer issues can do just as much good. It may not seem like a city councilor or county judge will have a lot of effects on LGBTQ+ equality, but even one anti-LGBTQ+ individual can do a lot of harm in the right position.
As a queer person who grew up in South Texas, I long thought that I would just be a lesser person than my straight peers and that political change would be impossible. But in the past couple of years, the local efforts of queer people have changed my small conservative town in ways I'd never have expected and showed me that LGBTQ+ change can happen anywhere.
