CONGRESSIONAL ALERT: Rep. Al Green and Other Members of Congress to Speak Today on the Original LGBTQ Pride Month Resolution

(Washington, DC)—On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, Rep. Al Green (TX-9) and other Members of Congress will host a Special Order Session of the House of Representatives to discuss the Original LGBTQ Pride Month Resolution. They will also discuss the recent Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting, and what it means in light of the continued struggle for full acceptance of LGBTQ Equality.

“Tonight, we will stand in unity and resoundingly say to the LGBTQ community: ‘You are not alone.’ This is a time for LGBTQ allies to unite and commemorate the progress and success of the LGBTQ community,” Congressman Al Green said. “The world must know an attack on one is an attack on all.  We cannot let the successes in the furtherance of LGBTQ equality be undone by dastardly deeds. Success for one community in our nation is success for all communities in our nation. We must succeed together or risk not succeeding at all.”
