It’s not often we get good news, but this is good:

“Civil Rights Law Protects Gay and Transgender Workers, Supreme Court Rules”
— The New York Times

Moments ago, the Supreme Court ruled that a key provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, known as Title VII, protects the LGBTQ community from workplace discrimination by a 6-3 vote — a resounding and historic victory.

No more are the days of getting married on Sunday and fired on Monday.

No more are the days of being fired simply because of who you are or who you love.

No more.

We owe our thanks to the Black and Brown trans activists who have always been on the frontlines of the fight for LGBTQ rights — and who delivered this victory today.

But, while the Supreme Court’s decision is a huge step forward for LGBTQ equality in America, we have to grit our teeth, stiffen our backbones, and keep marching forward. Our fight is not finished.

Too many LGBTQ Americans still remain at the mercy of an inadequate patchwork of state and local laws. It’s on us to take this fight even further and to make sure our community is not discriminated against in all other areas of life — including housing, education, accommodations, and so much more.

So, as we stand in awe of this landmark decision, let us take the next step forward in the march for fairness, freedom, and full equality for every LGBTQ American by committing ourselves to pass the Equality Act.

I’m doing everything I can to get bold legislation passed in the Senate, but I need your help. If you believe in this fight, please chip in $10 or anything you can afford so I can continue working to get the Equality Act to the president’s desk and signed into federal law:

No American should face discrimination in any way simply because of who they are or who they love. All of us deserve the freedom and opportunity to dream the same dreams, chase the same ambitions, and have the same shot at success.

The Supreme Court recognized that today, but we must keep going.

Happy Pride everyone.
