Love. Respect. Equality.

We at the GLW head office have always believed in representation, education and compassion but we can all do better. We wanted to share some resources with our community on these important topics. These topics of conversation are uncomfortable for some and good, they should be. These conversations need not only to happen on social media, but in your home. It starts with your loved ones. We need to continue to educate ourselves and always make positive choices to be better.

We are here with you. We stand with you. We support you.
