The LOVE LIST needs your help.

Each year we celebrate and recognize hundreds of Wisconsin's LGBTQ relationships in our annual Love List issue. In the past we've relied on social media (Facebook & Instagram) to help us reach people and encourage them to participate. Recently Meta has removed the feature we relied on to get this in front of LGBTQ people in Wisconsin—allowing us only to promote it generally to people in Wisconsin, at best that's a supermajority of whom either it doesn't apply to, or at worst are actively hostile towards our community.

We need your help to reach our community now. Here's how you can help:

1. If you live in Wisconsin and are in an LGBTQ relationship of any kind, please click the link and participate.

2. Please share this and let others in our community know we need their help, too.

This feature has been an annual tradition for our community since 2011, and a way to be visible and affirming to ourselves, and everyone out there looking for hope and support. Please help this initiative continue to grow and thrive.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) has been observed annually from its inception on November 20 to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. It was founded in 1999 by a small group, including Gwendolyn Ann Smith, Nancy Nangeroni, and Jahaira DeAlto, to memorialize the murders of Black transgender women Rita Hester and Chanelle Pickett in Massachusetts.
