With the tireless support of generations of LGBTQ leaders, advocates and citizens, we have made great strides in Congress toward ensuring and protecting equal rights for every American: including by passing historic, fully-inclusive hate crimes legislation, tossing the hateful “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy into the dustbin of history and defeating the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act. I have continuously supported legislation that expands protections for LGBTQ Americans and honors the beautiful diversity that enriches our community. Since my first day in Congress, ending discrimination against the LGBTQ community and advancing full equality has been a top priority. San Francisco is blessed with a large and vibrant LGBTQ community and a strong history of advocacy for equal rights for all. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi attends the ceremony commemorating the Harvey Milk Forever Stamp’s first day of issue and honors the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, a San Francisco hero who dedicated his life to the fundamental American value of equality.
