+## Support for Gateway API BackendTLSPolicy
+
+The BackendTLSPolicy CRD can now be used with HTTPRoute to configure a Contour gateway to connect to a backend Service with TLS. This will give users the ability to use Gateway API to configure their routes to securely connect to backends that use TLS with Contour.
+
+The BackendTLSPolicy spec requires you to specify a `targetRef`, which can currently only be a Kubernetes Service within the same namespace as the BackendTLSPolicy. The targetRef is what Service should be watched to apply the BackendTLSPolicy to. A `SectionName` can also be configured to the port name of a Service to reference a specific section of the Service.
+
+The spec also requires you to specify `caCertRefs`, which can either be a ConfigMap or Secret with a `ca.crt` key in the data map containing a PEM-encoded TLS certificate. The CA certificates referenced will be configured to be used by the gateway to perform TLS to the backend Service. You will also need to specify a `Hostname`, which will be used to configure the SNI the gateway will use for the connection.
+
+See Gateway API's [GEP-1897](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/geps/gep-1897) for the proposal for BackendTLSPolicy.
