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

You don't have to be a rock star or a rocket scientist for your story to be important. If you work, stay at home, go to school, go to church, baby-sit your grandchildren, clip coupons, save to send the kids to college or for your retirement, we want to hear from you! We welcome stories from family, friends, and other straight allies, too.
