Millions of LGBTQIA+ people and underserved communities around the world depend on these kind of life saving programs. Thanks @SenJackyRosen & @SenTimKaine for the intro of #HIVMedicationAccessAct to reverse harmful Trump Admin actions that’d eliminate HIV prevention efforts.

The courageous LGBTQIA+ service members who volunteer to defend our country don’t deserve these kind of discriminatory attacks. Shame on Republicans and any Member of Congress who votes to pass any of these amendments! @EqualityCaucus

Thank you @SenTimKaine for reminding us that we are a nation of laws, not men. Everyone- including LGBTQIA+ people- are entitled to equal protection under the law.

CGE joins @humanrights1st in condemning the US’s move not to participate in its own Universal Periodic Review (UPR) before the UN Human Rights Council this year. This damages the US’s credibility on human rights and accountability. https://t.co/FuHfe9TlgA

CGE stands w/ international groups condemning the State Department's 2024 human rights report, which omits reports of violence and abuse targeting LGBTQI+ people. These reports help shape diplomatic engagement+protecting individuals fleeing persecution.

Let's be clear. Today's House Judiciary Committee hearing was a clear attack on vulnerable communities+the orgs that serve them. These programs have a proven track record of implementing restorative+lifesaving measures. Thanks @RepRaskin and @RepJasmine! https://t.co/owXzN68XUt

The rights to free expression and peaceful assembly belong to all of us. Today, @Global_Equality & @amnestyusa rallied in D.C. as Budapest Pride prepares to march tomorrow under new repressive laws. Pride is protest. Pride is resistance. Solidarity transcends borders. 🌈🇭🇺

US policy has long assumed that our diplomats should strive to talk to all international political leaders — whether we agree with them or not. But these 2 recently cases suggest that it may be time to, for the sake of democracy, reexamine that approach:
