A #DayInLGBT America 2015: Are You Ready?

For the last four years, tons of you from every corner of America posted photos and shared your lives as part of this annual special report. The response was terrific, and we're putting together a big LGBT photo album again in 2015, plus we've streamlined the process to make it even easier.

To participate, all you have to do is post a photo or video on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #DayInLGBT on Wednesday, December 9.

So get out your camera or camera phone, because we want to see what happens in your lives from dawn to late at night all over America on a single day. We want to see every aspect of LGBT life, from the mundane to the insane, from the glamorous to the gritty, whether you're on an adventure or experiencing a quiet moment of solace. You don't need to be a professional photographer. Just take a selfie or have a friend photograph you or your family or friends doing anything that says something about who you are as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person.

Please think of A Day in LGBT America as one way you can help The Advocate dispel what the religious right tries to sell America about LGBT people, and simultaneously, your photos will inspire young people with the power of the project's hopeful message.

Oh, wait, one more thing: We will peruse photos and select 12 to transform into special digital covers of The Advocate. Just send a photo with hashtag #DayInLGBT and it could be you on the next cover.
