Even as LGBTQI+ Americans face pressure to hide themselves, our community refuses to go back in the closet. Together, we're going to keep working to build a world where no one feels they need to hide who they are or who they love.

In the 119th Congress, lesbian Members of Congress have been at the forefront in the fight for equality, as they also fight for an Affordable America and a government that serves the people. We couldn't be prouder to be co-led by every openly-lesbian U.S. Representative!

Reckless cuts & delays in funding for HIV research networks have some researchers worried their funding may be cut off by the Trump Admin, threatening the advancements we've made in the fight against HIV & AIDS. Trump's cuts are needlessly putting lives on the line.

Trump & Hegseth's repeated use of anti-trans slurs is further proof of this Administration's animus towards the trans community. They're proving again and again that all they care about is maximizing cruelty. REAL leaders don't need to use dehumanizing slurs in order to lead.

Trump's reckless policies are leading to LGBTQI+ asylum seekers being deported to countries where consensual same-sex sexual activity is criminalized or where human rights abuses are happening against LGBTQI+ people. These inhumane deportations are putting people in danger.

There has never been a world without LGBTQI+ people—and there never will be.

LGBTQI+ people have always been part of the American story—and we’re committed to making sure our stories are never forgotten. Our members will always fight to preserve our history and ensure future generations can learn from the people who helped shape our country.

Every student deserves to go to school without facing harassment or discrimination. But Trump's Ed Dept. are weakening those protections to normalize attacking LGBTQ+ students. Shameful. The WWE Secretary should resign if she's not going to protect ALL students.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month, a time to honor the courage, resilience, and impact of LGBTQ+ Americans who have helped make our country stronger. Let us honor the bravery of the heroes who came before us by continuing the fight for a more just and equal nation for the generations to come.

The 988 “Press 3” crisis line for LGBTQ+ young people is back. After the Trump Administration shut it down, I worked with allies and advocates to secure funding for its restoration and pressure the Administration to bring it back online. Now we need to make sure it stays there.

Proud to be part of the successful push to restore this lifesaving support line! So grateful to all who joined us in this effort to ensure our LGBTQ+ youth have the resources they need and deserve.

Yes again, when we fight back, we can win. And we did NOT give up this fight.   This is a big deal and will save lives among LGBTQI+ youth across our country.

Teachers in states without supportive LGBTQ+ youth laws & policies report higher rates of anti-LGBTQ+ student harassment than those in states with supportive policies. It doesn't have to be this way. Every kid should be go to school without fear of discrimination & harassment.

Over the weekend, Trump illegally clawed back funding for the DOJ's Community Relations Service (AKA "America's Peacemaker"), which is tasked with preventing & responding to hate crimes. This latest attack on CRS is another example of how Trump is putting Americans at risk.

Trump’s attempts to restrict federal HIV grant funding from going to organizations that acknowledge the existence of trans people is discrimination, plain & simple.   Doctors should be able to treat ALL their patients without interference from anti-equality extremist politicians.

🎉GOOD NEWS🎉 A federal judge rejected the DOJ's latest attempt to move a lawsuit over 17 trans servicemembers' revoked retirement pay out of court. The servicemembers, who were forced out under Trump's cruel ban, can stay in court as they fight for what they were promised.
