I would say the effects of climate change are things that we have to consider at the strategic, operational, tactical level in all of our military operations in the future.

I appreciate the great contributions you have made to our national security.

Unfortunately, the Department of Defense has failed significantly to meet its statutory mandate on this report, and I am concerned that we are now in a cycle of throwing good money after bad.

I just want to take the opportunity to congratulate you on becoming the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

That is why I am a proud cosponsor of the Equality Act.

This is long overdue legislation that will explicitly prohibit discrimination against LGBT and gender nonconforming Americans.

Both of your cases get to the heart of why the Equality Act is necessary.

I don't view Nazis as a protected class.

Religion is no excuse for discrimination as we have long recognized when it comes to race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, and it should not be when it comes to sexual orientation or gender identity.

As we consider H.R. 5 here in the House, I can't help but think of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riot just a few weeks from now.

That riot 50 years ago in what is now Mr. Nadler's district sparked the modern LGBT rights movement that has ushered in extraordinary achievements in our fight for equality.

Equality is equality.

It is time we make clear that none of these are acceptable forms of discrimination.

Speaker Pelosi has been an extraordinary and great champion for our community and a bulwark of support for this bill.

The American people have the right to know the full truth and need to see the full contents of this report.

He's now making up additional reasons to keep parts of it secret. This is not something the Judiciary Committee is going to accept that's why we're authoring the chairman to issue a subpoena tomorrow for the report in its entirety and all…

The scaremongering about potential bathroom predators has not turned out to be true.

I am a proud and outspoken ally of the LGBT community and the trans community especially.
