I want to wish you a happy Pride Month, which starts tomorrow. Looking across the country, it is heartbreaking to see anti-LGBTQ+ bills and hateful rhetoric gain traction. These sentiments are backwards-looking and brings us all down.
This Pride Month, I am reaffirming my commitment to the LGBTQ+ community as a steadfast ally who will speak out against this hatred. When lives and rights are under attack, it is our job to stand together with our community.
