TWENTY-SEVEN TAIWANESE AND MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES SPEAK OUT IN SUPPORT OF LGBTQ EQUALITY: The statement comes ahead of November 24 referendums in Taiwan that include five ballot initiatives — three that would harm LGBTQ people, including two attempting to undermine a landmark Taiwanese Constitutional Court decision supporting marriage equality and another that would repeal a portion of the Gender Equity Education Act, which supports LGBTQ inclusion in Taiwan’s school curriculum. In contrast, two other initiatives would affirm marriage equality and the importance of the Gender Equity Education Act. The major businesses are joined in their statement by six non-governmental organizations operating in Taiwan and globally. More from HRC, INTO and Taiwan News.
THANK YOU, CHAD! HRC PRESIDENT CHAD GRIFFIN ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE IN 2019: Said Griffin (@ChadHGriffin): “The true strength of the Human Rights Campaign is in its fearless army of staff and volunteers, who are committed to ensuring full equality reaches every LGBTQ person across America, and around the world. Even as I step down from my role in this remarkable organization, I remain committed to HRC’s mission and will continue to fight for the rights and dignity of LGBTQ people — and all Americans — as I embark on this next chapter.

HRC AND UCONN SURVEY FIND SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES FOR TRANS AND GENDER EXPANSIVE YOUTH: The new report details the alarming barriers facing transgender and gender-expansive youth — and their perseverance in the face of discrimination and harassment. The findings were drawn from the 5,600 transgender and gender-expansive youth who participated in HRC’s groundbreaking 2018 LGBTQ Youth Survey. “Amidst an onslaught of political attacks on the rights and dignity of transgender people, these harrowing results reinforce that transgender and gender-expansive youth need action and need it now,” said Jay Brown, Acting Senior Vice President, HRC Foundation (@ThisIsJayBrown). “No child should have to wake up in the morning fearful of rejection, bullying or discrimination, but for far too many transgender and gender-expansive youth that remains an everyday reality.” More from HRC.

David Hockney Painting of Former Lover Fetches $90.3 Million, Breaks Record for Living Artist
David Hockney Painting of Former Lover Fetches $90.3 Million, Breaks Record for Living Artist
David Hockney’s well-known 1972 painting Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) broke the auction record for a living artist, selling for $90.3 million at Christie’s on Thursday to an unidentified seller.
The Guardian reports: “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) was snapped up after more than nine minutes of bidding, dominated by two rival telephone bidders. The previous record was held by American Jeff Koons and his Balloon Dog (Orange), which sold for $58.4m at Christie’s in 2013…The first man depicts Hockney’s former lover and muse, Peter Schlesinger, who was one of his students at the University of California, Los Angeles. The picture dates back to the year that their great love affair ended, and it is thought the swimmer could be Peter’s new lover. One of Hockney’s most celebrated works, it has featured on the cover of a number of monographs about the artist and was part of an international retrospective that celebrated his 80th birthday in 2017.”

HRC and UConn Survey Finds Significant Challenges for Trans and Gender-Expansive Youth
HRC and UConn Survey Finds Significant Challenges for Trans and Gender-Expansive Youth
Today, HRC Foundation and the University of Connecticut released a new report detailing the alarming challenges and barriers facing transgender and gender-expansive youth around the country — and their perseverance in the face of discrimination and harassment. The findings, which focus on the experiences of transgender and gender-expansive youth both at school and at home, were drawn from the 5,600 transgender and gender-expansive youth who participated in HRC’s groundbreaking 2017 LGBTQ Youth Survey.
“Amidst an onslaught of political attacks on the rights and dignity of transgender people, these harrowing results reinforce that transgender and gender-expansive youth need action and need it now,” said Jay Brown, Acting Senior Vice President, HRC Foundation. “No child should have to wake up in the morning fearful of rejection, bullying or discrimination, but for far too many transgender and gender-expansive youth that remains an everyday reality. All of us must meet these young people’s perseverance with our own persistence as we fight to build welcoming schools and affirming communities for youth of all gender identities.”
HRC and researchers at the University of Connecticut found that:
- Less than a quarter of transgender and gender expansive youth feel like they can definitely be themselves at home.
- Seventy-two percent of transgender and gender expansive youth report hearing their families make negative comments about LGBTQ people.
- Sixty-nine percent of transgender and gender expansive youth have received unwanted sexual comments, jokes and gestures.
- Transgender and gender expansive youth are roughly twice as likely to be sexually assaulted or raped because of their actual or perceived identities than their cisgender LGBTQ peers.
- Less than a quarter of transgender and gender expansive youth can definitely be themselves at school.
- Only 16 percent of transgender and gender expansive youth always feel safe at school.
- Forty-two percent of transgender and gender expansive youth have received physical threats due to their LGBTQ identity.
- Fifty-one percent of transgender and gender expansive youth never use restrooms at school that align with their gender identity.
The voices and experiences of these teenagers are powerfully reflected in the new survey, including the lifesaving role affirming adults can play in supporting transgender and gender expansive youth:
“I have been taught to believe my whole life by my parents that being LGBTQA+ is a sin and should be hidden.”
“I simply am not comfortable with coming out because I am scared I will be persecuted for it.”
“I went to a Christian school where everyone signed a contract saying they aren’t LGBTQIA+, and I’d be expelled if I came forward.”
“My school counselor is the sole reason I am here today. She is the most wonderful, most accepting being I could ever think of.”
“What’s made me more comfortable was the fact that my counselor is gay, so since he’s part of the LGBTQ community, it makes me feel a lot better.”
The report also outlines steps families, schools and lawmakers can take to support and protect transgender and gender expansive teens, including advocating for inclusive non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people at the local, state and federal levels, and comprehensive training for school faculty and staff.
In May, HRC released the 2018 LGBTQ Youth Report, which detailed the overall findings of the 2017 LGBTQ Youth Survey and its 12,000 respondents nationwide.
The U.S. lacks reliable data about LGBTQ people, especially about the experiences of transgender youth. In light of this, and in the face of consistent attacks on LGBTQ youth, HRC is ensuring that this data is in the hands of teachers, counselors, coaches, doctors and other youth-serving professionals across the country. These findings will inform a variety of HRC Foundation programs for youth and youth-serving professionals, including the Welcoming Schools program, the All Children-All Families program and the Time to THRIVE conference.
The full report on the experiences of transgender and gender expansive youth can be found here.
