Washington, DC – Today, Equality PAC Co-Chairs Chairman Mark Takano (D-CA) and Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) released the following statement celebrating the beginning of LGBTQ History Month.
“October is a time to recognize LGBTQ trailblazers past and present that continue to shape the progress we fight for each and every day,” said Equality PAC Co-Chairs Chairman Mark Takano and Congressman David Cicilline. “There is no doubt that our LGBTQ history and community are full of change agents who have been fighting to advance our rights. It is critical that we honor these amazing individuals, which is why Congressman Mark Pocan has introduced a bill in Congress to establish a national LGBTQ history museum. We take this month to urge Congress to quickly pass this bill so that we can properly celebrate those in our community that have gone to extraordinary lengths to mold our shared history.”
Equality PAC is the political arm of the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus and is dedicated to the full legal and societal equality for LGBTQ Americans. All funds raised into Equality PAC are spent supporting and electing openly LGBTQ individuals and strong LGBTQ allies to the United States Congress who are committed to passing the Equality Act and to ensuring full civil rights and protections for all LGBTQ Americans.
