About Us
Lavender Liberal is a rapidly growing movement dedicated to creating a platform for the LGBTQ+ community to engage in political discourse. This platform provides an open and safe space for individuals to seek out information, express themselves, and rally behind the causes that matter to them. The organization is dedicated to providing advocacy, education, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. The Lavender Liberal movement provides its members with a variety of tools and resources including forums, news, educational seminars, and networking opportunities. Through these resources, members are able to stay up-to-date on the current political climate and rally behind causes they care about. The organization is also committed to holding elected officials accountable; members are encouraged to get out and vote and contact their representatives when necessary. In addition, the Lavender Liberal movement focuses on highlighting the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities. They recognize that queer and trans* individuals are often excluded from conversations and that their stories are often ignored or erased. Through their programming, they strive to create an inclusive and equitable society where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. Its mission to provide advocacy, education, and visibility is an important step towards creating a fair and equitable society for all.
Why is Lavender Liberal formed?
The organization is motivated by the urgent need to build a more inclusive and progressive Democratic Party, capable of standing up for justice and opportunity. By uniting progressives of all stripes around the Lavender Liberal platform, they seek to create a safe and nourishing space for progressive values to take root and transform the Democratic agenda. Lavender Liberal’s goals aren’t just about changing the Democratic Party, however. They hope to create a full-spectrum, LGBTQI+ inclusive movement in politics which will increase understanding, promote justice, and create a more enlightened and tolerant society. Lavender Liberal wants to elevate the voices of LGBTQI+ people, bring them into the Democratic Party, and ensure that the Democratic Party is a safe and open place for LGBTQI+ people. The Lavender Liberal agenda includes protecting LGBTQI+ rights; improving LGBTQI+ health and well-being; ensuring workplace protection for LGBTQI+ individuals; increasing access to quality services, such as health care and mental health care for LGBTQI+ individuals; and increasing LGBTQI+ visibility in the political process. Their platform is designed to inspire progressive candidates and to pressure the Democratic Party to become a more LGBTQI+ friendly party.
This type of liberalism includes the support of LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights, and greater rights for minority groups. While this form of liberalism has been gaining momentum and support in recent years, it still faces many challenges. One of the most prominent challenges for Lavender Liberalism is the lack of minority representation in the liberal political landscape. Although more minorities have been getting elected to office, they are still vastly outnumbered by their white, male counterparts. This has resulted in a greater focus on traditionally liberal topics at the cost of more progressive issues which are pertinent to minority communities. A second challenge faced by Lavender Liberalism is the tendency for mainstream liberal candidates to downplay or avoid topics that relate to LGBTQ rights and reproductive rights. While such issues may be used to garner votes from pogressive leaning constituencies, that does not always translate into meaningful action once the campaign is over. This reluctance by mainstream politicians to champion these issues often discourages Lavender Liberals from taking part in mainstream politics. Finally, there is the challenge of balancing competing priorities within the Lavender Liberal movement.

The Lavender Liberal code of conduct asks its members to be respectful, kind, and civil to one another. Name-calling, bullying, and hostile behavior are not tolerated. Additionally, Lavender Liberal encourages its members to thoughtfully share their experiences, perspectives, and opinions, without trying to speak over another person. As such, Lavender Liberal asks its members to uphold these values and to treat each other with respect and understanding. There is considerable debate as to which issues should receive primary focus: racial justice, LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights, gender equality, etc. Ultimately, the movement risks fracturing into multiple factions that have difficulty uniting to promote a unified agenda. These challenges make it difficult for Lavender Liberal ideals to be fully realized in the modern political landscape. Despite these challenges, however, the movement continues to grow in strength and impact, hopefully allowing these goals to one day become a reality.
