June is LGBTQIA+ Pride month, a season of celebration that must be matched with a season of hard work. The current climate is dangerous, with increasing violence against trans individuals, we must use our voices to amplify and protect the LGBTQIA+ community.
John: I am actively working to expand federal protections for LGBTQIA+ Americans, especially trans children, who are the unfortunate target of new anti-LGBT legislation. This work is also personal for me – my little sister came out to me over forty years ago.
Join me in standing with LGBTQIA+ Americans and add your name to instantly show your support this Pride month.

- Since I joined Congress in 2018, I have been a member of the Equality Caucus because it is my responsibility to serve all Americans with equal respect.
- In addition to our work on the Equality Caucus, I have co-sponsored the Do No Harm Act, which would finally protect members of the LGBTQIA+ community from the harms of religious-based discrimination.
- In 2019, I wasted no time reintroducing the Equality Act that would guarantee LGBTQIA+ Pennsylvanians and Americans across the country cannot be discriminated against based on who they are and whom they love.
- Our campaign is proudly endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign and Liberty City LGBTQ Democratic Club. The greater Philadelphia region has a rich and prominent LGBTQ history, and it is my honor to have their support.
Thank you and I hope you have a safe and celebratory Pride!
