alt text This year, Equal Pay Today is partnering with coalition members to raise awareness about the lack of wage gap data for LGBTQIA+ communities on June 17, 2025.

We join forces on LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day to challenge a system that devalues our labor, discriminates against our identities, and denies us the economic security we deserve. Together, we strive for a future where our contributions, regardless of gender identity, sex characteristics, or sexual orientation, are valued equally.

When Trump took unprecedented action to fire hundreds of officials at the Dept. of Labor Women’s Bureau, EEOC, and other federal agencies, it put ALL our workplace rights & protections at risk. For LGBTQIA+ workers, the situation is especially dire. Today for #LGBTQIAequalpay Day, email Congress & urge them to use all the tools at their disposal to restore & defend our workplace civil rights!

#LGBTQIAEqualPayDay Currently the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect the information needed to understand the pay disparities faced by women in the LGBTQIA+ community. This day serves as an awareness day for this gap that exists. According to research by the Human Rights Campaign, LGBTQIA+ workers earn 90% of what a typical worker makes, which is compounded when considering race and sex. No worker should face pay discrimination. #prideinyourpay Take action:

LGBTQIA+ women earn about 87 cents for every dollar the typical worker earns. Wage equity means more than just a paycheck—it also means fair access to benefits like #PaidLeave and workplaces where everyone is safe, seen, and supported.

Our fight for equal pay is inclusive. We recognize that transgender, gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+ BIPOC individuals, women, and immigrants often face even wider wage gaps. #PaidLeave is just one part of the comprehensive solutions we’re advocating for. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAEqualPay

Trans men face wage disparities, earning only about 70 cents for every dollar earned by the typical U.S. worker. It's time to advocate for change for everyone! #EqualPay #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAEqualPay

Equal pay means equal dignity. But right now, civil rights enforcement is under attack. EEOC leadership has openly refused to protect trans workers. We need action. We need accountability. Congress must restore and fund the agencies that protect us all. #LGBTQIAEqualPay #ProtectOurAgencies
