Broadening acceptance of LGBT Americans requires the help of allies – friends and family who feel strongly that LGBT people must be fully accepted members of society. When allies speak out, hearts and minds open. Also, it's critical to boost acceptance of LGBT people, not just among non-LGBT folks, but also among members of our own community. As part of our #GotYourBack campaign, GLAAD staff showed how they've #GotYourBack. Check out the photos:
