Mitch McConnell's on the wrong side of history. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, June is Pride Month. It’s a time to celebrate the LGBTQAI+ community, promote their visibility and dignity, recommit to fighting for their equal rights. But that’s not the message being sent from the White House. The Trump administration continually seeks to allow bigotry. They’ve made it harder for same-sex couples to adopt, and just last month ended an Obama-era rule that protected transgender Americans in public housing programs from discrimination. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQAI+ community. And I will do everything in my power to stop these attacks against American citizens. The House recently passed the Equality Act to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This bill is sorely needed right now and has widespread public support, but Mitch McConnell is refusing to bring it to a vote in the Senate. Let’s start Pride Month by showing our solidarity -- and showing Mitch McConnell that he’s on the wrong side of history. Add your name and help me get 20,000 signatures to demand a Senate vote on the Equality Act! ADD YOUR NAME ➞ I won’t rest until Americans no longer face discrimination because of who they are or who they love. We’ve made so much progress in the last decade, but we have to fight harder than ever in the face of these obstacles set by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. I know we can do this if we stand together. Please add your name to stand with me today. Thank you, Jennifer Rep. Jennifer Wexton proudly serves the 10th District of Virginia. She's fighting to create a strong economy, ensure equality for all, and invest in a better future for America. CONTRIBUTE
