Ballot box

BenDeLaCreme, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Nico Tortorella, Ryan Russell & more get out the VOTE!

Why should you vote this year? Queerty, LGBTQ Nation, & GayCities partnered with 47 queer leaders  to talk about why this year’s election is the most important in our lifetime, especially for LGBTQ people. These amazing members of our community are here to give you a nudge, a reminder, or some extra inspiration to make your voices heard.

 If you’re looking for resources on how to vote, checking your registration, or why to vote, please visit the LGBTQ Nation Voting Center, in partnership with the National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund.
