The Human Rights Campaign has declared the USA in a State of Emergency for the LGBTQIA+ community.
The below link has ways you can help, as well as a guidebook for how to get to safety, how to save money to get to a safe place, your rights with work etc.
The Human Rights Campaign (the largest lgbtq+ political lobbying and advocacy group) is sponsored by an Israeli weapons supplier
Fakegyllenhalal explains in this tiktok why America's largest official queer support group has been silent in the ongoing genocide.
She has a petition linked in her bio (<- put over here) to pressure queer advocating groups to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza (and eventual occupation free Palestine. Not just for queer Palestinians, but ALL Palestinians.
Taken from the Queers for Liberation change petition;
"We urgently call upon major LGBTQIA2S+ organizations to abandon their silence and "neutrality," imploring them to publicly advocate for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We urge prominent LGBTQIA2S+ civil rights organizations to align with their mission statements. Offering constructive criticism is fueled by our genuine concern, emphasizing our commitment to ensuring active fulfillment of LGBTQIA2S+ equality goals through accountability."
It also denounces Israel's islamaphobic and blatantly wrong statements of the dangers and harm lgbtq+ people face in Palestine and the Middle East as a whole, and the use of pink washing by the iof and zionist occupation.
Lgbtq+ and queer people, including myself, REFUSE to be used as a tool for a genocidal regime.

Please watch this video by Rudy Riggs explaining it!
Took uh, a lot longer to add this ID than I intended
Picture ID: A person with a black t-shirt, layered silver necklaces, several piercings, a hat, and red hair dye except for the middle section which is brown. Their hair is very short, and they are very expressive with their hands and head movement. Their visible hand has several rings, one of which is very large.
The background is of a beige room with a sign light on the left, a picture or painting on the right, and plant in the corner.
There are captions above their head and a title in front of their throat which only stays for a few seconds.

Rudy makes a note in the video description that they misspoke in the video and that it was the Human Rights Campaign, not Commission.

Please note that HRC is a recognized non-profit based in Washington DC. It is also one of the largest LGBT+ organizations in the United States.
Every single one of you, no matter if you have watched A League of Their Own (2022) or not should watch this speech.
Abbi and Chanté beautifully highlighted the importance and impact of well done representation and how much it still matters. They talked so perfectly about the experience of community and fandoms and seeing your own experience and feelings mirrored. It is one of the best speeches I have ever seen (and it might make you cry).
“Trans men” are men. “Trans women” are women. Cultural acceptance and acknowledgement of this fact is important, but simply the first step. We should also be sincerely grateful for having trans friends, family members and partners who—despite the increased challenges they face—model for us the sort of authenticity, courage, and self-awareness we all strive for in our own lives.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) — the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization — officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time in its more than 40-year history, following an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year. A new report released by HRC today — LGBTQ+ Americans Under Attack [.pdf]— details more than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record.
brianfemminella: An honor to attend the @HRC LA dinner, alongside some of my colleagues in uniform. I had the privilege of speaking with @RonenRubinstein about how important it is to showcase first responder #LGBTQ relationships on TV, like he does with @911LoneStar. It’s inspired thousands to be comfortable who they are in uniform, including myself.
Human Rights Campaign [HRC] receives significant donations from US-based weapons manufacturer Northrop Grumman Corporation and lists it as one of its “platinum” corporate partners. Northrop Grumman was the world’s fourth-largest weapons manufacturer in 2022 and has consistently sent “aid” to Israel in the form of arms.
