Ally Tips for When You Make a Mistake

Whether you used the wrong pronouns by accident or used an outdated term, how you handle it can show your LGBTQ+ friend, loved one, or colleague that you care.
Here's our advice on what to do next:
Step 1. Acknowledge your mistake.
Step 2. Apologize* and correct yourself.
Step 3. Commit to doing better.
Step 4. Move on.
*If someone lets you know they don’t need or want an apology when you make a mistake, believe them. Don’t linger on it—just be sure to put in the work to do better.

Tell Congress to Vote NO on H.R. 28

Congress is back in session, and as one of their first orders of business, they are bullying trans kids. This week, Congress will vote on H.R. 28, a federal anti-trans athlete ban.

This harmful and discriminatory bill would exclude transgender, nonbinary, and intersex youth from school athletics programs. Help us protect trans youth. Tell Congress TODAY to vote NO on H.R. 28!
