Tell the NYTimes What YOU Think About Their Editorial!

Calls to action aren’t always meant to stop bad things from happening. Sometimes we act to show our thanks or support. The New York Times has greatly increased its meaningful coverage of LGBT issues, especially family issues, over the last few years.

Just a few days ago the NYTimes penned this eloquent editorial on Arkansas’s Act 1, the ballot measure that banned all unmarried, cohabitating couples (including all gay and lesbian couples) from fostering or adopting children in the state.

Join the Family Equality Council in praising the NY times for their positive coverage and editorials of LGBT issues.

Activist Tip: Write an Editorial In Favor of LGBT Rights

Submit an editorial to your local newspaper or magazine, perhaps you go to a high school or college and can write a piece for the weekly paper? Stand up for LGBT issues and let others know why you support them. You can write about anything, a gay show, a transgender friend, your coming out story, LGBT political or social issues, it's your editorial and it is your call. Not every piece will get accepted and editors do get many requests but don't let that dissuade you, keep trying to get your opinion heard. Someone will read it, and it will make a difference!
