“I think now more than ever, we need our gay brothers, our lesbian sisters, and our hot bisexuals to get through this. There are a lot of conersations on the table currently being used to divide us — and that is exactly what they want.
Christopher Street Project is the only group is the country solely dedicated to electing champions for the transgender community. Join us in celebrating Pride Month and supporting the Christopher Street Project.”
At Christopher Street Project’s 2025 Trans Day of Visibility rally, Lena Dunham said:
“I am so grateful to be here supporting the incredible people who have thrown this together — Christopher Street Project, you all are amazing, you should start putting on the Oscars. I’m grateful to fight alongside you for trans liberation. Trans liberation is our liberation, and without it, none of us are free.”
“As trans communities face escalated attacks, showing up and being visible is more important than ever. It’s on all of us to stand firm against hate and hypocrisy — and to take action. Because action is love
LGBTQ+. The ‘T’ is a big part of that, and it always has been. Trans people helped start our liberation movement — they deserve our protection, our respect, and we should be holding them up as members of this community.
That is why I’m supporting the Christopher Street Project, which is fighting every day to trans safety and for liberation. Equality for trans people, and people everywhere, isn’t optional. It’s our shared responsibility.”
At Christopher Street Project’s Los Angeles Pride 2025 event, Alyssa Milano said:
“I’m so happy to lend my support at the launch of Pride. I think we’ve all seen the headlines and we’ve all seen the devastating news every single day, but I do want to remind everyone that gathering in community is like medicine for your heart, and only beautiful things can happen when we gather.”
“Our friends in the trans community are yet again under attack and I am so tired watching people preach about freedom while trying very hard to take it away from the most vulnerable. My friends in the trans community are incredible, brilliant, loyal, creative, funny, hilarious, thoughtful, generous, wonderful members of our community — of our world.
So please just join me in supporting the Christopher Street Project who work day and night to support the trans community. Please share trans joy. Please share trans stories. Please remember at the end of the day trans rights are human rights.”
“Trans rights are human rights, just like anyone else — and anyone who refuses to unequivocally stand up for trans rights is showing that they think our lives and basic human rights matter less. It’s completely antithetical to the role of an elected official, which is to represent everyone. That’s why we need Christopher Street Project; we need people in Washington willing to name that fact and stand on it. To unapologetically and unconditionally support our basic rights, to proudly fight for our human rights. I know that they will, and that’s why I’m proud to support them.”
Founder & Executive Director, The Global Trans Equity Project (GTEP)
“The Global Trans Equity Project (GTEP) proudly stands in solidarity with the Christopher Street Project, an urgent and necessary initiative to safeguard the rights, dignity, and freedom of transgender individuals across our nation. As an organization committed to advancing health equity, advocating for inclusive policies, and fostering systemic change, GTEP recognizes the immense challenges facing transgender and non-binary people today.
The Christopher Street Project represents a critical step in amplifying the voices of those most affected by anti-trans legislation and the erasure of our rights. The Christopher Street Project aligns with GTEP’s mission to champion global inclusion and equity through advocacy, research, and education. This project not only underscores the resilience of our community but also highlights the collective action needed to dismantle the barriers that impede transgender people’s right to live authentically and thrive.”
“As an intersex Latina and the Executive Director of El/La Para TransLatinas, I know firsthand the strength and courage it takes to fight for our dignity and survival. The Christopher Street Project is a beacon of hope and action for our community—organizing to protect our children and our community, defend our rights, and demand the freedom to live without fear or harassment. This is personal for all of us who have faced discrimination and oppression. It’s time to hold all our leaders accountable and build a future where transgender people are not just tolerated but celebrated. We at El/La are proud to stand with the Christopher Street Project in this fight for justice and liberation.”
National LGBTQ+ Legislative Researcher and Activist
“In 2025, it’s critical to bolster support from Democrats in support of transgender rights. Over the past 4 years we have seen an explosive increase in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation within state legislatures and this is the year those bills go to the national level. We need fast, swift, decisive action to defend transgender rights in the U.S. Capitol and I’m thrilled to see an organization like Christopher Street Project coming together to do just that.”
“It is imperative that we hold our representatives accountable as we sink further into these unprecedented times. Many in the transgender community are fearful, and also, many of us are determined to continue to find and share joy as our authentic selves. We need allies at our side to uplift us, stand up for us, and work with us toward a more equitable future. We need these allies more than ever to continue fighting with us, including and especially those we have elected to represent us. Our children deserve a safe, loving ability to explore and express themselves, and our elders deserve to exist peacefully without the continuing fight for betterment. I look forward to seeing the ripple effect of the work that the Christopher Street Project will do.”
