Dear friend,
The fight for equal protection under the law is far from over. This year alone, more than 500 bills in state legislatures across our country have been introduced aimed at attacking the LGBTQI+ community.
Whether it's legislation banning drag performances, LGBTQI+ history, or gender-affirming care, it's clear these attacks are rooted in lies and conspiracies. It couldn’t be more obvious: MAGA extremists all across the country want to silence and legislate away the LGBTQI+ community.
But let me be clear: Pride is for everyone and no one should face discrimination because of who they are or who they love. I will always stand up for our right to live and love freely.
Pride Month this year is more important than ever for our LGBTQI+ friends, family, and community members. Join me in celebrating Pride Month with open hearts, open minds, and the courage to fight back against hateful, anti-LGBTQI+ rhetoric.
I will always be an ally, advocate, and safe-space for the LGBTQI+ community because LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.
Happy Pride, friend. 🏳️🌈
