The American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska wants your stories of LGBT discrimination in Alaska.
According to our recent survey, 44% of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Alaskans and their allies believe that discrimination is the most pressing social problem affecting their lives personally. Now that we know the numbers, we need your stories to make your experiences real to the people who are in a position to change the law.
In 1989, Identity Inc. published Identity Reports: Sexual Orientation Bias in Alaska, a thorough and eye-opening study that documented incidents of discrimination, violence, and harassment against LGBT people living in our state. It has been almost twenty years since anyone has collected similar testimony. While a lot has changed, we know that anti-LGBT discrimination and harassment persists. This is your opportunity to tell us how.
Share your story with us. Help us make Alaska a fair and equitable place to live.
Send your testimony to Tiffany McClain, LGBT Public Policy Coordinator, ACLU of Alaska
