Annual Report
In 2011 Victory celebrates its 20th Anniversary – two decades of success growing the number of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elected leaders who are fighting for full equality for all of us. So it's fitting that this celebration follows 2010, the most successful year in the history of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Institute.
While our allies faced a tough campaign cycle in 2010, Victory Fund candidates were elected in record numbers, expanding LGBT participation in government as never before. We were proud to help elect: a fourth openly gay member of Congress; an openly gay mayor in Lexington, Kentucky; Ohio's first openly LGBT state legislator; and 161 more out leaders across America. This work means our community's political power, influence and voice are amplified, and that holds great promise for real change.
Leading a coalition of dozens of national LGBT organizations over the past two years, the Victory Institute helped President Barack Obama appoint more openly LGBT Americans to his administration than any other president in U.S. history. Meanwhile we trained hundreds of future candidates and campaign workers--the next generation of LGBT Americans who will lead their communities as out officials and work to make our country fairer and freer for everyone.
