Title
11/20/2022
Tweet - "Horrifying that as we mark #TransDayofRemembrance today, we are met with the news of a deadly shooting targeting the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs. Hate and guns are a lethal mix. We must stamp out hatred and prevent perpetrators of hate crimes from obtaining firearms."
02/25/2021
Tweet - "Protections for the LGBTQ+ community are long overdue. I'm proud to have voted for the #EqualityAct today. I strongly urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this critical legislation so that we may end this discrimination once and for all."
02/18/2021
Tweet - "No one ought to be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. Equality must include all LGBTQ+ Americans. The #EqualityAct is long overdue. We must pass it into law now."
01/25/2021
Tweet - "Our military is strongest when all are welcome to serve based on their skills and qualifications--not barred because of their gender identity. President Biden's executive order rightly reverses the previous administration's harmful ban on transgender Americans serving openly."
10/07/2020
Tweet - "New @TrevorProject survey: 60% of Black LGBTQ youth respondents who wanted mental health care were not able to get it, with over half citing affordability as the reason. We must address disparities in access to care. The Senate must pass The Pursuing Equity in Mental Health Act."
08/19/2020
Tweet - "This @WaysMeansCmte report confirms that government-sanctioned discrimination in the SC foster care system on the basis of religion and sexual orientation is harmful and wrong for children and families. @HHSGov should rescind this ill-conceived waiver."
06/26/2020
Tweet - "As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Obergefell decision today, which made marriage equality the law of the land, we continue to fight for equal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. No one should be discriminated against simply for who they love."
06/15/2020
Tweet - "No one should be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. I'm pleased SCOTUS upheld workplace protections today for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is an important step on the long road to a more perfect union with liberty and justice for all."
06/01/2020
Tweet - "Last year, @HouseDemocrats passed the #EqualityAct to end discrimination against the #LGBTQ community. As we enter #PrideMonth I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to take up this important legislation and give our fellow Americans the rights they deserve. #PRIDE2020"
06/01/2020
Tweet - "Last year, @HouseDemocrats passed the #EqualityAct to end discrimination against the #LGBTQ community. As we enter #PrideMonth, I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to take up this important legislation and give our fellow Americans the rights they deserve. #PRIDE2020"
03/31/2020
Tweet - "Equal work should mean equal pay, period. We depend on our workers now more than ever before, and we ought to make sure they're paid equally, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other factor. #EqualPayDay"
11/20/2019
Tweet - "Today, we pause and honor the lives of all of the members of our transgender community whose lives were lost in acts of hate, violence, and transphobia. No one should fear losing their life for simply being who they are. #TDOR"
10/11/2019
Tweet - "Today we recognize and celebrate all those of the #LGBTQ+ community who are coming out today. People ought to be free to love whomever they want without the fear of discrimination. @HouseDemocrats are fighting to make sure they can. #NationalComingOutDay"
10/08/2019
Tweet - "#LGBTQ rights are human rights. #LGBTQ rights are civil rights. Every American should be able to work in this country without fear of being fired simply for who they are or who they love. #RiseUpOct8"
06/28/2019
Tweet - "50 years ago, a group of brave souls stood up and took an important first step for the LGBTQ rights movement. Today, we remember their courage as we continue fighting to ensure fairness and equality for all LGBTQ Americans. #Stonewall50"
06/26/2019
Tweet - "On June 26, @SCOTUS handed down 3 key decisions for the #LGBTQ community. Lawrence v Texas (2003) U.S. v Windsor (2013) Obergefell v Hodges (2015) I support @RepDelBene's resolution to establish June 26 as #LGBTQEqualityDay throughout our nation. #PrideInProgress"
06/01/2019
Tweet - "Last month, @HouseDemocrats passed the #EqualityAct to end discrimination against the #LGBTQ community. As we enter into #PrideMonth, I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to take up this important legislation and give our fellow Americans the rights they deserve."
06/01/2019
Tweet - "As we celebrate #PrideMonth, @HouseDemocrats also celebrate the recent passage of the #EqualityAct which prevents #LGBTQ persons from being fired, denied housing, or discriminated against b/c of who they love. It's time for the Senate to do their job & pass it as well."
05/22/2019
Tweet - "Today we honor the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, one of our nation's first openly LGBTQ elected officials. His legacy reminds us all that we must not be afraid to speak up for what is right, even when it is difficult. #HarveyMilkDay"
05/17/2019
Tweet - "#LGBTQ Americans deserve the same protections against discrimination as the rest of Americans. No one ought to be fired for who they love or fear losing their home. It's time to end this discrimination by passing the #EqualityAct."
01/23/2019
Key House Democrats Condemn HHS Waiver Condoning Discrimination in Foster Care in South Carolina
01/22/2019
Tweet - "The #TransMilitaryBan has no place in our country. How we can ban people from fighting for the very freedoms the military is charged with protecting? To the thousands of trans troops and their families currently serving, please know that we will keep fighting for you."
11/14/2018
Tweet - "Transgender and gender non-conforming Americans face discrimination and violence at an alarming rate. This #TransAwarenessWeek and always, I refuse to stand by as the Trump administration works against our efforts to end the prejudice and hate faced by the LGBTQ community."
