John,

During the last two weeks, we've seen two anti-LGBTQ attacks against our Presidential appointees. During a debate on the defense appropriations bill, U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert proposed reducing Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness Shawn Skelly's to $1 before launching a transphobic rant. She went onto say that Assistant Secretary Skelly, a more than qualified retired Navy Officer, was "playing dress up and imaginary games."

And if all this wasn't bad enough, Libs Of TikTok (a notorious anti-LGBTQ+ grifter known for doxing children's events at libraries) attacked spokesperson for the Department of the Interior, Tyler Cherry. Tyler's crime? Being a qualified, out and proud LGBTQ+ appointee.

Assistant Secretary Skelly and Tyler are nobly serving their government - and bigots cannot stand that they aren't just qualified to serve, but that they're out and proud. We're proud to stand with Assistant Secretary Skelly and Tyler AGAINST this horrific hate. Add your name and let them know you're standing with them too!

Look, these bigots desperately want attention, so they're attacking LGBTQ+ members of the Biden-Harris White House. But we can drown them out and show Assistant Secretary Skelly and Tyler that they don't have to face this hate alone. Add your name today and let them know: we're standing with you against transphobes!

I appreciate it,
