Hey there,
👏🏽 Congressional Democrats reintroduced the Equality Act on Tuesday, reviving a long-running effort to enshrine federal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. “We’re here today to fight for equality, to fight for opportunity, to fight for freedom,” Sen. Jeff Merkley said. “Freedom is the right to live as your authentic self without fear of harassment, discrimination, or violence."
🪩 Princess Diana once donned male drag to accompany Freddie Mercury to a famed gay bar in London, says a new biography of the princess.
🗳️ U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, the first out LGBTQ+ person elected to Congress from Minnesota, officially launched her campaign Tuesday for U.S. Senate — setting the stage for a closely watched Democratic primary.
Onwards and upwards,
