Why We Give

Quote from John Heilman

Our fight for global LGBTIQ equality will not be won overnight, nor will it be complete in my lifetime. That's why I'm part of Outright's Legacy Circle. I want to ensure Outright always has the resources to make the world a safe place for LGBTIQ people to live, work, and love.

It’s up to us to let them know, our LGBTQIA+ family members who are overseas, that we care.

I know that Outright works directly with thousands of LGBTIQ activists around the world. I trust Outright to distribute emergency funds where they are needed the most.

Quote from Tom Watson

“In my 60 years, I’ve personally experienced the real life impact of the successful LGBTI movement. The global momentum toward equality has been achieved in part because of Outright’s decades-long activism at the forefront of the international LGBTI movement. Progress is hard-earned but it’s also precarious. I know Outright will still be around fighting for us in the long run.”

Quote from Dorothy Sander

“Outright’s work is so necessary in this world, expanding public policy and fighting for equal rights for LGBTQI people around the globe, country-by-country. It takes special people to keep ideas and conversations moving. And money; and that’s why I’m a donor. The work Outright does with local organizations in many regions of the world brings real change.”

Quote from Dipti Ghosh

My partner Meggy and I are immigrants to the US, and are fortunate to enjoy a level of civil liberties not afforded to many LGBTQ people around the world, including in our home countries. It is going to be a long and hard fight and I want to do our small part to make sure Outright can continue to do their outstanding work.”
