It’s no secret the GOP has been working to limit LGBTQIA+ rights wherever they can, from our health care to our right to be open about our own marriages. If it seems like it’s been one step forward two steps back, that’s because it has.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can get behind the elected officials who dedicate their political power to expanding resources, rights, and protections for all, including the LGBTQIA+ community. Officials like Mary Gay.

We’re celebrating Pride Month, but it’s not just about parades.
Pride Month is a time when we honor the fight. The fight for equal rights, for safety and security, the fight for acceptance not just from our peers but from our government.
Because let’s be honest – the GOP is STILL doing too much to make LGBTQIA+ folks second-class citizens. Just look at this list of things they proposed last year:The GOP continues to promote hateful and divisive rhetoric and policies – they will not stop coming for our rights. And Mary Gay will not put up with it — are you with her? Then instantly sign your name next to hers and stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights this Pride Month >>
- Protection by the government for discrimination against same-sex couples on the basis of religious freedom.
- Prohibit appropriated public funds from being used for implementing anti-discrimination and equity programs including closing the House DEI Office.
- Prohibit appropriated funds in programs like Medicaid from being used for gender-affirming surgical procedures or hormone therapies.
- Prohibit displaying Pride flags at U.S. Embassies.
With a rise in violence and attacks aimed at LGBTQIA+ Americans, children, and families, these dangerous times require leaders willing to step into the fray. That’s why Mary Gay is fighting with the full power of her office to expand legal protections.
SIGN ON
Anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation is already making it more difficult to access gender-affirming care and putting hard-fought legal protections in jeopardy. While the far-right MAGA GOP continues their attacks, Mary Gay is using her position in Congress to protect members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and you can help by supporting her, John.

In solidarity,
