Team —

This Pride month, I’m asking you to join me in uplifting the LGBTQ community by supporting the Equality Act — legislation that would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

LGBTQ people shouldn’t be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. Sign your name to support the Equality Act and ban LGBTQ discrimination >> [[link removed]]

Throughout my career, I’ve fought tirelessly for equality, justice, and progress for all people. As a leader in North Carolina’s state legislature, I opposed regressive laws like Amendment One, the amendment to our state's constitution that would have banned same-sex marriage and civil unions. I also voted for legislation aimed at protecting students against bullying, and called for protection for LGBTQ youth in schools.

But the fight for equality is far from over yet. Republican-held state legislatures are launching an all-out assault on LGBTQ rights in states across the nation — including right here in North Carolina where our state legislature introduced their own version of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill last month.

It was true when I served as a state representative, and it’s true now: I won’t stand by and watch our country be taken backwards by anti-LGBTQ bigoted leaders.

I was proud to cast my vote to pass the Equality Act in the House last year. And now, I’m asking you to raise your voice and join me in putting public pressure on the Senate to get this critical legislation on President Biden’s desk.

The Equality Act is long overdue. If you’re with me, sign your name to demand the Senate pass the Equality Act to ban LGBTQ discrimination >> [[link removed]]

The LGBTQ community has an ally in Congress. I will always fight for the justice and the rights of all people.

Thank you,

Deborah
