Former congressman and current US Senate candidate Mike Rogers’ LGBTQ+ rights record shows that he’s no friend to the queer community. He has opposed same-sex marriage and discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, and surrounded himself with anti-LGBTQ+ religious advisors. It’s no wonder that the Human Rights Campaign has given Mike Rogers’ LGBTQ+ rights record a zero during his time in Congress. Now that he’s running again for Senate, it’s a great time to take a closer look at Mike Rogers’ LGBTQ+ rights record, including statements and votes he has made against queer equality.

Pompey Park in Delray Beach was born during the Jim Crow era, when Black residents faced legal segregation and were barred from many public beaches, parks, and pools in Palm Beach County. The park became a place to gather, play sports, and build community. Today, it’s still the anchor of the city’s historic Black neighborhood, known as The Set. Today, following years of government and community debate on its future, city leaders are investing nearly $60 million to renovate and preserve “a tool that we have used in the community for over 50 years,” said Cheryl Pompey-Howard, the only child of the late educator and civil rights leader Charles Spencer Pompey. She is a 72-year-old retired registered nurse. The park is named after her father. “This is where we socialized and had our relay races outside here in the park,” she told WLRN. “And the community would just come together for all kinds of social events, civic events, Girl Scout meetings, church activities, retirement parties. This was just kind of home for us, you know?” "It was a safe haven." Roughly 100 long-time residents, Delray Beach commissioners, the city’s community redevelopment agency, and developers gathered together this month for the...

(Washington, DC) – The Trump administration has gutted federal civil rights enforcement in the United States, leaving the people the laws were built to protect without adequate remedies, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The 112-page report, “Remedies Abandoned: US Civil Rights Enforcement Under the Trump Administration,” documents the administration’s efforts to unravel the work of four key agencies between January 2025 and the spring of 2026: the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which lost about 75 percent of its attorneys; the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights, which moved to lay off nearly half its staff in one day and closed 7 of its 12 regional offices; the Housing and Urban Development Department’s Fair Housing Office, which shrank dramatically; and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which reached its lowest staffing levels in over 40 years. “The Trump administration is targeting efforts to address discrimination without offering any alternatives,” said Trey Walk, US program researcher at Human Rights Watch. “While claiming to protect all Americans, the administration is rolling back systems that communities have long turned to for relief.” The administration’s efforts are ongoing. As recently as June 16, 2026, the Education Department announced it would transfer...
