#Bestof2015: LGBT and Allied Community Shows Unparalleled Unity Online
In 2015, people around the globe took to the Internet and social media as a tool to support and enhance LGBT equality and visibility.
Online activist gathered to support the LGBT equality movement, creating a strong digital community that made hashtags like #LoveWins and #TDOR trend and called out anti-LGBT rhetoric. They also signed several petitions, backing pro-equality candidates in a tight election year and committing to support businesses that support equality.
Throughout the year, millions of HRC members and supporters shared a diverse set of content and stood with us. Whether wearing HRC gear, sharing the red logo or celebrating National Coming Out Day, supporters continually advocated for LGBT rights online.
While supporters shared #WeAreHRC content on Instagram and sent us thousands of snaps on Snapchat, we watched pro-equality content get shared in cities across America on Facebook and Twitter.
Visibility, awareness and understanding were just a few outcomes from the actions equality supporters took online this year. They gave a face or a name to the movement, showing everyone everywhere who we are and what we truly believe.
Counting down to 2016, HRC is celebrating our greatest milestones and victories in 2015. It has been another incredible year for LGBT equality and we could not have done it without you — our members, readers and supporters–and we look forward to continuing our work in 2016. Stay tuned for more highlights from 2015.
