"But in the 40 years of the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City, we have won victory after victory and in dark times, we do not give up. In the years ahead, we are going to fight to win back the House and the Senate, we're going to work with our new mayor to ensure LGBTQ people are defended from federal attacks, and we are going to lift up trans leaders and ensure they have the resources they need to be safe."
