From visibility to physical wellbeing to financial wellness, the Trump administration is trying to chip away at every ounce of progress we’ve made.

Out of all of the AANHPI respondents to the HRC Foundation’s 2025 LGBTQ+ Community Health Survey:

🔽 40.6% said they were less out than 12 months ago
🔽 38.5% said federal policies made accessing health care harder in 2025
🔽 29% said they were finding it difficult to get by or are just getting by financially

During AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re reminding allies that our fight for equality will take ALL OF US.

A warm thank you to all who supported us and to those that attended our Dinner. Community truly does Equal Power. But we also want to say Happy Mothers Day💖 to the mothers who raised our supporters (and likely took a redeye flight to see you today😉). Some even brought their mom's to the event ! You are our biggest and cheerleaders. Go Moms!

In community can also mean or adopted family.
The drag mothers and fathers of the 1970s led houses that welcomed and guided cast-out minority q***r youth through pride, acceptance, and bold style beyond their opportunities. Thanks to , we have families with 2 Moms or 2 Dads that love and cherish their families just as much as any other couple.

We're still fighting for and the rights we earned through protest and diligence in elections. Backsliding is not an option, but the fight rages on and we're still here for it. That strength in perseverance and love came from you and all the maternal figures that showed us a way forward. Happy !
