Straight Guide to GLBT Americans

The Human Rights Campaign, in partnership with Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, is proud to launch our first-ever resource specifically for friends and family — A Straight Guide to GLBT Americans. The guide is a resource that helps map some of the emotions straight people feel when someone first comes out to them; walks people through myths and facts about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans; and outlines ways straight people can demonstrate their support. Download your copy today to share with your friends and family.

The project celebrates gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight Americans who support living openly and talk about the things that make us all different — and, just as importantly, the ways that we are all the same.
