While Pride Month is a time for us to celebrate the LGTBQ+ community and uplift LGBTQ+ voices, it’s also a time to commit ourselves to electing leaders who will take real action.
I’ve spent my career advocating for marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ community — and particularly LGBTQ+ people of color.
Meanwhile, Donald Payne Jr. refused to support marriage equality in 2012 (even after President Obama and Vice President Biden announced their support), failed to lead on LGBTQ+ issues, and only bothered pretending to care about the LGBTQ+ community when our campaign started calling him on his weak leadership.
