The Equality PAC National Pride Gala featured music legend Dionne Warwick, with over 70 members of Congress present, signaling strong support for LGBTQ+ rights. Politicians including Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Nancy Pelosi condemned recent actions by the Trump administration, especially around transgender issues in the military and the resurfacing of conversion therapy laws. Schumer emphasized the need for unity and activity in fighting against discrimination and pledged to support the Equality Act, reinforcing the importance of allyship in preserving the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.
"Donald Trump and the MAGA radicals have targeted LGBTQ Americans more than just about any other group. Banning trans Americans from serving in the military, prohibiting Pride flags in public institutions in red states - and now, some states are even bringing back conversion therapy."
"We will not let America backslide on our watch. We will pass the Equality Act. We'll stop LGBTQ Americans [from being discriminated against] and make sure that every American has a seat at the table."
