""In New York's 17th District and across the Hudson Valley, our strength comes from our diversity. "We are blessed to have two thriving LGBTQ+ centers that support people every day. Let me be clear: LGBTQ+ people, and especially our transgender community members, are not an enemy or a threat. They are our friends, our family, and part of the fabric of America. "As the Bible teaches us, love thy neighbor as thyself.""
""freedom" has "served as a guiding light in this great democratic experiment known as America". "freedom for our fellow Americans." "politics has become more corrosive and coarse" "... we have lost sight of a simple truth: we are all Americans, yes, but we are all human beings, created in God's image.""
""open dialogue" "dehumanizing those with whom we may have disagreements or differences: rather, we should recognize their humanity, their purpose, and their worth.""
Republican representative Mike Lawler of New York's 17th District posted a message supporting the trans community and urging civility. He emphasized freedom as a guiding principle and warned that politics has grown corrosive. Lawler called for open dialogue and an end to dehumanizing rhetoric, stating that people across differences should be recognized for their humanity, purpose, and worth. He highlighted local LGBTQ+ centers and insisted transgender people are friends, family, and part of America’s fabric, invoking the biblical command to love thy neighbor and advocating resolution of differences through debate, not violence or hate.
