Resisting Discrimination, Defending Dignity
Rainbow Flight to Freedom has always been more than just a beacon of hope—it is a lifeline, a bridge to dignity and freedom for LGBTQIA+ refugees seeking safety and acceptance in the United States.
However, the recent executive orders issued by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, threaten to dismantle the protections and pathways that make our mission possible.
Through dedicated sponsorship, financial assistance, and unwavering community support, we have transformed the harsh realities of persecution into pathways of resilience and empowerment.
Yet, these new policies place countless LGBTQIA+ individuals at even greater risk, stripping away essential rights and undermining the very principles of refuge and asylum.
Now, more than ever, we stand resolute. RFTF remains a sanctuary for those facing discrimination, a shield against policies that seek to erase, exclude, and endanger. We refuse to allow suffering to be institutionalized, nor will we let fear silence those who seek nothing more than to live authentically.
Our mission has never been clearer: to uplift, protect, and ensure that every individual—regardless of who they love or how they identify—has the opportunity to live with dignity, freedom, and pride.
Together, we will fight back against policies that seek to divide, and we will continue to dream of and build a future where love knows no borders, identity is celebrated, and no one has to live in fear for being who they are.
We will not rest. We will resist. We will endure. Because safety, dignity, and equality must never be privileges—
they are rights.
