Annual Report
This annual report summarizes the work of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Leadership Institute in 2009, the most successful non-federal election year in our history. While this report can’t quite relay the joy felt by everyone when Annise Parker’s victory made Houston the largest U.S. city ever to elect an openly LGBT mayor, we hope it reflects the historic impact of that tremendous victory.
At the end of the 2009 political season, the Victory Fund saw 54 of 79 endorsed candidates win their elections, an extraordinary success rate for any political organization.
These victories are important. They give us hope that we can win when we work harder and smarter than our opponents, and they give young people the confidence to pursue their dreams while living authentic lives, unafraid to be themselves.
Once in office, these public leaders literally become the face and voice of the LGBT community. And they're making powerful contributions toward a more equal and fair America.
