it is fascinating how she evolved between 2019 and 2023
Ensuring #LGBTQ Americans are treated equally is vital to our democracy. Unfortunately, in Ohio and many other states it is still legal to fire someone based on their LGBTQ identity. I’m honored to be a cosponsor of the House passed #EqualityAct, which would make discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity illegal across all 50 states. Also pleased to be a cosponsor of Congresswoman Suzan DelBene’s resolution marking every June 26th as #LGBTQEqualityDay, in honor of the Supreme Court decision 3 years ago recognizing same-sex couples constitutional right to marry.
