Together, we elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, won the Georgia runoffs and achieved pro-equality majorities in the House and Senate. Now we’re going to pass the Equality Act through Congress and ensure protections for LGBTQ+ people nationwide.
HRC’s campaigns are focused on mobilizing those who envision a world strengthened by diversity, where our laws and society treat all people equally, including LGBTQ+ people and those who are multiply marginalized.

Each May, we celebrate National Foster Care Month, a time to bring awareness to the more than 391,000 children and youth in foster care. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the overrepresentation of LGBTQ+ youth in child welfare – 30% of youth in foster care identify as LGBTQ+.
Too many LGBTQ+ youth come out to family members only to face rejection, hatred and violence.
Those facing the most extreme levels of family rejection and maltreatment are often forced out of their homes, or will run away, becoming homeless or entering the foster care system.
