Your presence is our best gift. We recognize how privileged we are to live in our community surrounded by acceptance, advocacy, and courage. Not every LGBTQIA2S+ couple gets this lucky. In the spirit of our “no gift” registry, we’re raising funds to protect the rights of our national LGBTQIA2S+ community. With our nuptival happening just one month shy of a contentious election race, we need to stand up for LGBTQ rights now more than ever. Your donation will go towards the Victory Fund, a policy-oriented organization that’s dedicating its time to ensure that every individual within the queer community and beyond feels valid, safe, and able to thrive. A record of 478 anti-LGBTQ bills have already been documented and are being tracked this year, targeting drag performers, school censorship, gender-affirming care, and non-binary visibility. Marriage equality is also on the chopping block in many states. You can watch how these bills unfold on a state-by-state basis here. Your donation helps protect the rights of all LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and communities.

Furthermore, it will help progressive, queer leadership advance into government roles. Thank you for giving the gift of your friendship. Thank you for paying it forward with us.
