Happy Pride Month, John!
June is a source of tremendous pride for all Americans who are members of the LGBTQ+ community—and for all who love and support them. It’s a pretty big month for Connecticut too.
In 1991, Connecticut became just the 4th state in the U.S. to enact laws prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals, and Connecticut was at the forefront of ensuring true marriage equality.
Connecticut Democrats have a proud record of progressive accomplishment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Did you know you can support these efforts by joining the LGBTQ+ Caucus [[link removed]] ? Registration is free, and all are welcome! Participate in our meetings, attend our monthly speaker series, get updates about the Caucus’ legislative work, and be an advocate for LGBTQ+ issues—for every individual and family in Connecticut.
