Share Your Story

HRC’s staff is looking for LGBTQ Americans who are willing to share their personal experiences with discrimination. Now more than ever, it's vitally important to share personal stories as we work to pass the Equality Act -- a landmark federal non-discrimination bill.

Sharing personal stories is a critical way for LGBTQ people to help advance our movement.

If you've experienced discrimination, either in the workplace or elsewhere, share your story and we'll follow up with you about the best ways you can tell your story and make a difference in passing the Equality Act in Congress.
