Friend --

Pride Month is an incredible celebration -- but it's also a reminder of what's
at stake.

Americans have embraced LGBTQ+ equality by repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell,"
passing marriage equality state-by-state until the Supreme Court made it legal
everywhere, and fighting for equal rights for our LGBTQ+ friends, families, and
neighbors. But the Trump administration is not doing anything to help -- in
fact, they're getting rid of important protections and making things worse.

Instead of leading, President Trump prioritized rolling back health care
protections for transgender Americans during a global pandemic, in the middle of
Pride Month, and on the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

Our voices together make a difference. That's why I'm hoping you'll join me in
demanding that President Trump stop his hateful agenda against the LGBTQ+
community: Add your name today.

This is especially important because it was five years ago today that the
Supreme Court made equal marriage legal for all Americans, and just last week,
the Court ruled to protect LGBTQ+ Americans in the workplace. But while the
highest court in the land is working to bend the arc toward equality, Donald
Trump has done everything he can to tip the scale back.

It's unconscionable. That's why I've worked so hard in the Senate to be a voice
for the LGBTQ+ community, including by sponsoring the Equality Act-- legislation
to insert sexual orientation and gender identity into our civil rights laws --
and the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act, which would condemn conversion
therapy as fraudulent.

Meanwhile, President Trump has repeatedly targeted the LGBTQ+ community and
worked to strip them of protections and rights: rolling back health care and
employment protections, barring transgender Americans from serving in our armed
forces, and making it harder for same-sex couples to adopt children.

Like I said -- it's unconscionable.

That's why we need to band together and demand that President Trump end his
attacks on LGBTQ+ Americans: Add your name to tell Donald Trump to honor Pride
Month by ending his administration's bigoted agenda toward the LGBTQ+ community.
