A group of over 70 organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community have released a joint statement of solidarity following the victory of former president Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
The signees represent both state-level and national organizations. The letter, which was hopeful in tone, emphasized the long history of the LGBTQ+ community's fight for its rights; the signatories pledged to continue that fight under a second Trump presidency.
"Ours is a long history of never backing down from a fight for our rights," the letter reads. "United in our strength, during the most difficult of times, we have pushed forward and achieved significant progress across the decades."
The letter continues, "For every member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and for those who support us: We've got this. We've got us. No matter who you are, where you live, or the outcome of yesterday's election, today we are an LGBTQIA2S+ community united."
"We know that so much more work lies ahead of us," the letter reads. "Yet as an LGBTQIA2S+ movement, we will continue to work towards what we always have: a country where all LGBTQIA2S+ people are safe, seen, and accepted for who we truly are, without exception. We are here together, and we will move forward. We've got this. We've got us."
