John,
As we near the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, let's reflect on what Pride Month means to queer Americans and the fight to protect and expand LGBTQ+ rights in the face of repression.
Policymakers in states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Kansas have introduced over 500 bills in 2024 alone, preventing LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender people, from living their fullest lives.
This includes banning gender-affirming care, outlawing drag shows, censoring school curricula (including banning books and preventing conversations on LGBTQ+ topics), and barring transgender individuals from public accommodations. By fanning the flames of homophobia, transphobia, and hate-fed violence, these legislators are shaming queer Americans out of public life. The rights of LGBTQ+ Americans cannot be left up to state legislatures. Sign if you agree: Congress must take action to protect the LGBTQ+ community. |
As a member of both the Congressional Equality Caucus and the Transgender Equality Task Force, I work hard every day to end workplace discrimination, school bullying, healthcare disparities, and other barriers that stand in the way of the LGBTQ+ community’s well-being. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Nobody should have to live in fear because of who they are and who they love. It’s vital that we afford the LGBTQ+ community the same legal protections that the rest of us receive.
Pride Month commemorates the struggle for equality, and that struggle is far from over. Tell Congress: Protect the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination.
Thank you for your activism and all that you do. In solidarity, Ro |
