(CNN) The midterms lit a fire in Ryan Murphy, and a new organization he's formed aims to continue what he sees as a wave of positive momentum for the LGBTQ community.

Murphy on Sunday announced a new organization that in 2020 will "target anti-LGBTQ candidates running for office," he said in a speech at the 2018 TrevorLIVE Los Angeles gala.
