Condemns hateful attacks against LGBTQI+ community, reaffirms commitment to equality for all

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Paul D. Tonko on June 1, 2023 joined his fellow members of the Congressional Equality Caucus, millions of Americans, and individuals around the world to celebrate the start of Pride Month and to reaffirm his commitment to the mission of promoting equality for all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics.

“Pride Month is a wonderful, joyous time to celebrate LGBTQI+ people, history, and culture. So it is painful and deeply concerning to see the rise in hateful rhetoric and anti-equality legislation ripping through our communities, places of business, state legislatures, and even the halls of Congress.

True allyship doesn’t just mean speaking out when it is easy, but also when it is hard. This Pride Month and every day onward, we must recommit to standing against these attacks and advocating for equal rights in the U.S. and around the world.”
