Share Your Story

Research shows that the more people know their LGBT and HIV+ family, friends, and neighbors, the more likely they are to support our rights and help us work toward full equality.

Stories Matter

We have come far in our fight for equal justice under law. But we still must work to educate our communities about the reality of LGBT people’s lives.

You don't have to be a rock star or a rocket scientist for your story to be important.

We welcome stories from family, friends, and other straight allies, too.
