I’m remembering Stonewall and looking ahead

John,

 

54 years ago today, brave LGBTQ+ New Yorkers stood up against vitriol and hatred at the Stonewall uprising. This marked a watershed moment for the movement for LGBTQ+ equality in America, and a defining moment in our history.

 

I’ve spent Pride month standing hand-in-hand with my community members, celebrating our resilience and embracing joy in our identities. Today, in particular, I remember that Pride is, and has always been, a protest.

It’s been a half-century of progress for queer Americans. As a gay man raising children in America, I’m grateful for that every day. Still, there remains so much to fight for. Recent months have brought shocking levels of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the country, and queer people continue to face discrimination and roadblocks to living a full and free life.


Pride month is coming to an end, but the battle for equality never stops. I’m leaving June feeling energized and grateful to have my community by my side.


This is the exact energy we need as my campaign for Congress picks up speed. We aim to close out this fundraising quarter strong, and head into the next one ready to take the Idaho GOP by surprise to flip ID-02.


Can you pitch in $5, $10, or $25 right now to help me win this race?


Pride month was filled with events across the district, and I want to keep running this campaign exactly that way. But traveling, gathering staff and volunteers, and making and distributing the necessary campaign literature requires a well-funded operation, so I need your help now, more than ever.


The fight for LGBTQ+ equality is one of my biggest reasons for getting into this race – real representation is important and impactful. I want my kids and yours to see what it looks like for the American Congress to look like America itself. 


If you can, please contribute to the campaign today. Every dollar counts and goes straight toward a people-focused campaign that makes real connections with voters.


One more time – HAPPY PRIDE from me and everyone here at Team Roth. I’m so grateful to have you with me.

David Roth is a single, gay dad running for Idaho’s Second Congressional District. We’re going up against a GOP incumbent who has been in this seat for almost 25 years. It’s time for change in Idaho, and our grassroots campaign is building on the momentum that began in David’s race for U.S. Senate last cycle. The GOP is not planning to defend this seat, so we plan to take it from them and help Democrats retake the House majority next year. We’d love your support to build a solid campaign to bring progress to Idaho and the country.
