HRC, in partnership with PFLAG, 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 GLBT Americans, and outlines ways straight people can demonstrate their support. Download your copy today to share with your friends and family.

For many people, starting the conversation about life as a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person - or even as a straight ally - can be challenging. What do you say? How do you bring it up? How will they react -- will it get wierd?

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and HRC's Snapshot Project is an easy and fun way to start those conversations. It's easy. Learn how at HRC Snapshot.
