Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” is an LGBTQ+ anthem that perfectly threads the needle of needing to leave home to find yourself and still loving your home and your family.
Listen to how Chappell’s parents feel about the song and their daughter:
If enacted, the provision of National Defense Authorization Act to take away health care from military families, would be the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law since the 1990s and the era of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act.
We can still stop this cruel effort to take away best practice, medically necessary health care from trans youth of military families. Tell your Senator to support military families by texting VOTENO to 472472.
Anti-equality House leaders are using an annual defense bill to try to strip away health care from the transgender kids of our military families — the very families who have committed themselves to serving our country.
All families deserve access to the health care they need. Text VOTENO to 472472 to call your Senator and tell them to support military families.

We are feeling 💚Wicked 🩷 thanks to these inspiring words from Elphie herself, Cynthia Erivo, at our 2024 National Dinner.
36 lives were lost to senseless violent acts.
36 lives were cut short.
36 people with loved ones, dreams, hopes. Each of them had a name.
Each of them had a story.
We remember them today and always.
