Folks, Happy Pride month! And here’s some good news (finally!): The Supreme Court ruled this week that federal employment discrimination laws protect LGBTQ+ employees! This a huge win, and a victory of liberty and equality. Being your open and authentic self should not be a fireable offense. But this ruling only protects employment. It does not protect housing, healthcare, and many critical areas where LGBTQ+ Americans need and deserve equal treatment under the law. In fact, the Trump administration just rolled back healthcare protections for transgender Americans. That’s why I introduced the Equality Act – because equality for our LGBTQ+ communities is long past due.
I am proud that 236 Representatives passed the Equality Act in the House to prohibit discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. It’s time to get this legislation out of Mitch McConnell’s Senate graveyard.
But it will likely take a Democratic-held Senate, House, and White House to get this done. That’s why I am honored to join Joe Biden’s LGBTQ+ steering committee to turn out a record number of LGBTQ+ voters this November to kick Trump out of the White House and win up and down the ballot. In solidarity, -- David
