The Williams Institute is honored to present Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi with the Lifetime Impact Award in recognition of her decades of leadership working for LGBTQ+ equality. During her more than 35 years in Congress, Pelosi led bills that allow LGBTQ people to openly serve in the military, provide justice for LGBTQ victims of hate crimes, and enshrine marriage equality in federal law. As Speaker, she twice passed the Equality Act, which would provide federal nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people in education, housing, employment, public accommodations, and other areas. Pelosi has been committed to eradicating HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and around the world. Under her leadership, domestic funding for HIV/AIDS increased and America’s contributions to the global fight against AIDS more than doubled.
