Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their extreme Project 2025 allies are pushing a dangerous and toxic agenda that would rip away rights from LGBTQ+ Americans \u2014 but voters can stop their plans at the ballot box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With less than one week until Election Day, the DNC is reaching LGBTQ+ voters across the country to make sure they know what\u2019s at stake this November. This ad buy follows the DNC\u2019s historic and first-of-its-kind \u201cI Will Vote\u201d paid media campaign targeting LGBTQ+ publications, which reached over one million voters in the first week alone. While ultra-MAGA Republicans launch an all-out assault on equality for LGBTQ+ Americans, Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and Democrats up and down the ballot will continue fighting to protect LGBTQ+ rights against attacks from MAGA extremists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLGBTQ+ Americans have fought tirelessly for equality \u2014 but Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA GOP wants to drag us backwards and roll back our hard-earned freedoms.

This November, the American people \u2014 including LGBTQ+ voters \u2014 will choose Vice President Harris and Governor Walz\u2019s vision of equality for all over the ultra-MAGA GOP\u2019s campaign of extremism and hate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See the new ads below:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXc996faoagadMpm-4wS6MMUGIkiIEFq0zjiZ71lmHlsMAHRNPxBnq8ov9VDqPX7Zsr-QVPYel5MS7nzdvxcsCBeMWNXmFCqHbDUetMewyECkkMse3kV5AePmFlkq_5PfaGX6bENrXayEDbCJuJcc2NE7Fs?key=7o42XsLdABtHmEfoK6M2c9dS\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfh62WJCCpAuhvVEV6AWxrHkDBkK1WAYSIzhRJhbCIQC1L7zjoG849iMgzUqz1jzO7u1I5Hz83aNvUujTmFq1iN5mg_LgJ5EWH-K5ZWipqpA8UnpnNoGSkNA56_fij-_2iSycI9mOis8tgWD8J4JeJyptQg?key=7o42XsLdABtHmEfoK6M2c9dS\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdyxe32Rgws1w8a89Q_M854oHI2W-BaeSYx-2GklzHH1gEBZfuB9HNBJXLNzDjCJofpNYNQABP1iDtp5WUBnyqLtyXxR2eIJC8w-Lzo0ahnBLWjK9sVuQnX1yci1Fey7OJFg6sF2JOsbY1Rc2nqoNmdqbgl?key=7o42XsLdABtHmEfoK6M2c9dS\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdX9WuxtbtEnHHg8ltOBrN8WwHcQKMtQxKbLmuPEOsHpyIpps-l2qv47gi5zMIidkKXR8b0zrsom2lQ1oZOJ42B_W5uWMGM-z0nstDHwDNLSSQT5yI685Du_691YbG6VkdL9e2r_sZaQ1EsRXL2CW2sLLsV?key=7o42XsLdABtHmEfoK6M2c9dS\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXet_cIGICjaaaUKnYbxU78rpbQaPBegASAZhklrBe_mSs-aWALtKckM5h0M6-IBJNzLuNL_yQ-DOArG6PT68RwRwibc0KZsBcTtCrP9jDEWkQkBBvzc9qJJPdYcAbvUlAIwMTeVo5niBBdjuHy4UKRdsnxg?key=7o42XsLdABtHmEfoK6M2c9dS\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br><em>Ad Copy: Project 2025 rips away our rights.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Stop Republicans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ads will run on the largest LBGTQ+ social networking app in the world as part of a new six-figure ad campaign across battlegrounds, encouraging LGBTQ+ Americans to vote and stop Project 2025\u2019s anti-freedom attacks&nbsp; Today, the Democratic National Committee is announcing a new six-figure ad campaign on Grindr \u2014 the world\u2019s largest LGBTQ+ social [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1049591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
