Following the march, Harris known as for the passage of the Equality Act and mentioned the Biden administration understands the significance of advancing LGBTQ+ rights. “We need to make sure that our transgender community and our youth are all protected. We need, still, protections around employment and housing,” Harris mentioned, in keeping with NBC. “There is so much more work to do, and I know we are committed,” she added.
Earlier within the month, Harris had taken to social media to precise her gratitude in direction of the LGBTQ+ group that has made quite a few contributions in direction of US society. “Every June, we celebrate the contributions the LGBTQ+ community have made to our nation’s past, present, and future,” she wrote. “But we must recommit ourselves to doing everything in our power to protect the community from discrimination and harm and deliver full and equal rights to LGBTQ+ Americans.”
From her resolution to not help the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in 2008 to officiating the primary same-sex marriage, Harris has been an advocate of LGBTQ rights.
