The stakes are high for LGBTQ+ Americans in this November’s election, as two new ads from GLAAD are reminding voters. The ads, released Wednesday, highlight the threat to marriage equality and the continuing attack on transgender youth. They will air nationwide on digital and broadcast media. The election will determine control of Congress and many state and local races. It comes at a time when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has said the court’s 2015 marriage equality ruling should be reversed, as he wrote in his statement when the court overturned Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed the right to abortion nationwide. A bill that would write marriage equality into federal law is pending in Congress. Meanwhile, several states have enacted anti-trans laws and policies, particularly targeting young people. GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a press release, “The stakes could not be higher. Every LGBTQ person and every one of our allies must hear the warning in these ads and make a plan to vote. The legal protection of our marriages is at risk, and marriage equality is on the ballot. We urgently need everyone to speak up for LGBTQ people with their votes to protect our marriages, our children, our families, and our futures.” #theusaview
