It's been 50 days since Trump's second term began, and since then, we've seen an avalanche of attacks against the queer community. Our Co-Chairs & Vice Chairs have a message for the LGBTQI+ community, especially young trans & queer people:

This week, the Ways & Means Committee GOP advanced a bill to protect the tax-exempt status of nonprofits that discriminate against interracial & same-sex couples. Watch as CEC Vice Chair @RepJudyChu breaks down how this extreme bill enables a host of other harmful practices:

I want to be absolutely clear: The anti-LGBTQ+ amendments in the NDAA do absolutely nothing to strengthen our military readiness or improve the lives of everyday Americans. I look forward to a day when Republicans in Congress drop this bizarre and personal vendetta against queer and trans people and get back to working on real issues that help to make America the country we know it can be.

The Trump administration has mercilessly attacked access to gender affirming care for trans Americans. Now, Pete Hegseth is proud to announce that the Trump administration will provide testosterone replacement therapy for male soldiers. Really?

The Secretary of Forever War, Pete Hegseth, just announced they are going to provide hormone therapy to male service members who don’t have enough testosterone. Let’s be clear: This is gender affirming care and it completely debunks all of Republicans’ attacks on trans people.

I look forward to the day when members of Congress stop pursuing bizarre, personal vendettas against LGBTQ+ people and get back to the work that actually matters. People are counting on us to lower costs, expand access to health care, make housing more affordable, invest in child care, and build an economy that works for everyone. That’s the work Congress should be focused on — and it’s how we make our country stronger.

The first Pride at Stonewall was a protest—and Chicago’s first #Pride demonstration in 1970 was no different!   Proud to join activists and community members in Washington Square Park recently to commemorate our city’s first march and continue to make change🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Last night, I stood with fellow members of the @equalitycaucus to celebrate Pride Month as June came to an end. Pride Month may be over, but I’ll always fight to protect the rights of our LGBTQ neighbors. 🫶🏾🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride! 🌈     To every member of our LGBTQ+ community: you are seen, you are loved, and you make this world brighter.     As we wrapped up Pride Month yesterday—we want to be clear that Pride isn’t just something we celebrate in June—Pride is every day! We will never stop fighting so you can live out loud as your full, authentic selves. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
