Folks,

The Supreme Court just declined to hear a case that would have overturned the landmark Obergefell decision, the case that made marriage equality the law of the land.

While we can rest easy on this front for now, the battle for equal rights is far from over — in 2025 alone, 616 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the country.

This is personal to me. When I became the first openly gay Senator in our nation's history, I understood that I needed to use this extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in people's lives.

From lowering prescription drug prices to protecting same-sex marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act, I’ve worked hard every day since to do just that. Now, the fight is on to protect our progress.

It’s going to take all of us to counter these right-wing attacks so that everyone in the LGBTQ+ community knows they belong — and that kindness and inclusion, not hatred and division, are American values.

I promise to keep up the fight as long as I can, and I’m hoping you’ll support this important work and help me meet tomorrow’s mid-quarter fundraising deadline.

Thank you for supporting my work. Let’s recommit ourselves to the fight for a future where every LGBTQ+ person is free to be who they are without fear.
